In Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6%. Suppose that an item costs $50.88 including tax. How can we use algebra to find the price of the item before tax was added? What is the price before tax? A very common wrong answer to this problem is $47.83. Show with a simple check step that this is not the correct answer (don’t mention the correct answer here). b. Using x = the price before tax, write an equation and show solving steps to find x. Clearly state your solution and show the check step.
