The total cost of a dress, including tax, was $121.37. if 6% tax was added to the sale price, what was the sale price before taxes?

We have

sale price + 6% x sale price = $121.37;

Then

(106/100) x sale price = $121.37;

sale price = $121.37 x 100 / 106;

sale price = $12137 / 106;

sale price = $114.50;

Step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
