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 <<<<<.
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.
Take your order price times .007. That's the sales tax for that order. but take tax before shipping cost.
You multiply the purchase price (without sales tax) by 13/100, that is, by 0.13.
Multiply the price by 0.015
The percent of the sales tax was 4.5%
Commission would be apply to the sales price, which does not include tax.
Original Price = Total / (1 + Tax)
To find the price of the swimsuit before sales tax, subtract the sales tax from the total cost. So, $55.95 (total cost) - $4.55 (sales tax) = $51.40. Therefore, the price of the swimsuit is $51.40.
To calculate the sales tax on the shoes priced at $63.20 with a sales tax rate of 4.5%, you multiply the price by the tax rate: $63.20 × 0.045 = $2.84. Therefore, the sales tax you would pay for the shoes is $2.84.
The total tax is $2.83 and the price before tax was $47.17.
$52.92/1.08 = $49.00 total price before sales tax $49.00/4= $12.25 price of each CD before sales tax $52.92/4 = $13.23 price of each CD including sales tax
8.5% of $20,000 is 8.5 x $20,000 / 100 or $1,700, so the total price would be $21,700
