How much did he pay for the cooler alone without the tax?

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Bill with tax = $7.95

Tax = 6%

This means that

Bill with tax = Bill without tax * (1 + tax)

Substitute the known values into the equation

Bill without tax * (1 + 6%) = 7.95

Bill without tax * (1.06) = 7.95

Evaluate

Bill without tax = 7.50

Hence. he paid $7.50 for the cooler alone without the tax?
