including a 6% sales tax, an inn charges $201.40 per night. find the inns nightly cost before tax is added.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Let original cost be $x$.
The total cost with 6% tax is $x + 0.06x=1.06x$.
Step2: Set up equation.
We know $1.06x = 201.40$.
Step3: Solve for $x$.
$x=\frac{201.40}{1.06}$ $x = 190$
Answer:
$190$
