Answer 1

The pre-tax price of "smart fabric" warm-ups is $745 .

Explanation:

Let us assume that the pre-tax price of the "smart fabric" warm-ups be x .

As given

arold paid 5% in sales tax on his new "smart fabric" warm-ups.

if harnold paid 37.25 in sales tax on the warm ups .

5% is written in the decimal form .

`=(5)/(100)`

= 0.05

Equations becomes

0.05 × x = 37.25

0.05x = 37.25

`x = (37.25)/(0.05)`

x = $745

Therefore the pre-tax price of "smart fabric" warm-ups is $745 .
