Emilio paid $287.50 in taxes to the school district that he lives in this year. This year’s taxes were a 15% increase from last year. What did Emilio pay in school taxes last year? PLEASE HELP


Sagot :

Well if it was increased from last year, then it must be dealing with devision to find out the price of last year...
So when you divide the number 287.50 by 15% You get to the total of:
1 916.66667 
So your answer is: $1,916.67
