Answer:

$7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the price of the picnic cooler 7.95 with 6% sales tax, we can write:

X*1.06 = 7.95

Dividing both sides by 1.06,

X= 7.50

So Anton paid $7.50 alone without tax

Answer: Cost of cooler alone = $7.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Anton's bill including tax = $7.95

6% of his bill accounts for sales tax.

Sales tax = 6/100 × 7.95 ≈ $0.48

So cost of cooler alone =  Total bill - tax

= 7.95 − 0.48

= $7.47

There is another way of doing this problem as well, but which ever one is easier for you could it.

Anton's bill including tax = $7.95, out of this 6% is sales tax. This implies 94% (100 − 6) of total bill accounts for cooler alone.

Cost of cooler alone:

=94/100 ×7.95

= 0.94 ×7.95

= $7.47
