Answer:

The price before tax was $110

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the price paid totals $129.25, including b (the pre-tax price) an 17.5% of b:  b + 0.175b = $129.25.  Combining the b terms, we get:

1.175b = $129.25.  Solving for b by dividing both sides by 1.175, we get

b = $110.  The price before tax was $110.
