An Air Line to NY cost $1232.10 inclusive of sales tax of 11%. Determine the cost of the ticket exclusive of sales tax.

Sagot :

Answer:

1110

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = price of the ticket before tax

We know the ticket plus the tax = 1232.10

x + x*11% = 1232.10

x+.11x = 1232.10

1.11x = 1232.10

Divide each side by 1.11

1.11x/1.11 = 1232.10/1.11

x=1110

Answer:

  • $1110

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost is x.

  • x + 11% = 1232.10
  • x*1.11 = 1232.10
  • x = 1232.10/1.11
  • x = 1110
