Neal buys a board game. he pays for the board game and pays $1.54 in sales tax. the sales tax rate is 5.5%. what is the original price of the board game, before tax?

$28

Step-by-step explanation:

x = original price of the board game

tax =$1.54 = x(.055)

solve for x by dividing each side by .055

x = 28 = price of the board game.

Check your answer by seeing if .055*28 = 1.54

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
