The sales receipt for the purchase includes the sales tax

  • The sales tax is 6%
  • The price at the top is $7.50
  • The original price at the top is $12.50

How to determine the percent of sales tax?

The sales tax is calculated as:

Percentage sales tax * (Sum of Items subjected to tax) =  Sales tax.

So, we have:

T * (3 + 0.5) =  0.21

Evaluate the sum

T * (3.5) =  0.21

Divide both sides by 3.5

T =  6%

Hence, the sales tax is 6%

The price at the top

The price (p) at the top is calculated using:

p = 13 - 3 - 2 - 0.5

Evaluate the difference

p = 7.5

Hence, the price at the top is $7.50

The original price at the top

60% of the original price (P) is p.

So, we have:

60% * P = p

Substitute 7.5 for p

60% * P = 7.5

Divide both sides by 60%

P = 12.5

Hence, the original price at the top is $12.50
