$532.50

Explanation:

Answer 2

The price of the three items before tax is $530.583

SOLUTION:

Given, an buys a tool box ,drill set, and a socket set . she spends a total of $564.45 after tax ,

Bill paid = $564.45

and the tax rate is 6%

tax rate = 6%.

we need to find what was the total price before tax.

Price before tax = bill paid – tax rate x bill paid.

= 564.45 – 6% x 564.45

6 % can be written as
`(6)/(100)`

`=564.45-(6)/(100)(564.45)`

= 564.45 – 33.867

Price before tax = 530.583

Hence, the price of the three items before tax is $530.583
