Answer:

  a.  $150

  b.  $158.25

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

The amount of tax is the product of the tax rate and the price being taxed. This relation can let us solve for the price.

  tax = tax rate × price

  price = tax/(tax rate) = $8.25/0.055 = $150.00

The purchase price of the table saw is $150.00.

__

b.

The total price is the sum of the purchase price and the tax.

  total price = price + tax

  total price = $150.00 +8.25 = $158.25

The total price of the table saw is $158.25.
