Usually prices are straight forward in locations with no tax. After knowing the price you then calculate the tax. However, if you know the price of the item after tax you can simply subtract the percentage of sales tax.
Example: The final price of a sticker cost $2.06. The sales tax is 7%.
$2.06 - 0.07 = $1.99 The original price of the sticker was $1.99
*FYI to convert percent to decimal start at the percent sign then move two decimal places to the left <<<<<.

If you sold an item for 20.00 and included sales tax and your sales tax rate is 7.3 what was the item price before sales tax?
The easiest way to understand the answer is to turn it around. If you wanted to calculate the item price plus tax, you would multiply the item price by 1.073. So, to back up to the item price from the item price plus tax, divide the item price plus tax by 1.073. $20.00 / 1.073 = item price before sales tax.
