Question

Find the original price given the total amount and tax or tip rate. Total price: $307.32 Tax or tip rate: 20%

Answer 1

Since the total amount is $307.32 and the tax or tip rate is 20%, we can consider the following equation to find the original amount:

`O\cdot1.2=307.32.`

Dividing by 1.2 on both sides gives us:

`O=(307.32)/(1.2)=256.10,`

so the original price was $256.10.
