Julieta and Savannah are planning to decorate Mr. Sarasohn's door for the door decorating contest. They go to a hardware store in 주문 to stock up on the supplies they might need to successfully decorate. They buy duct tape, zip ties, plastic sheeting, a nail gun, rope, and a hot chocolate mug decorated with care bears. The price of all the items is 125.35. If the tax is 6%, what is the cost on the supplies after tax?

솔루션 단계

Translate the problem into an equation:

125.35 = x + 0.06 x

125.35 = x + 0.06 x : x = \frac{12535}{106}

\frac{12535}{106} = 118.25471 \dots

Amount before tax : 118.25471 \dots
