Answer:
The original price of the bracelet before tax is $12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the original price of the bracelet be x.
As given
Casey buys a bracelet.
She pays for the bracelet and pays $0.72 in sales tax .
The sales tax rate is 6% .
6% is written in the decimal form.
[tex]= \frac{6}{100}[/tex]
= 0.06
Than the equation becomes
x × 0.06 = 0.72
0.06x = 0.72
[tex]x = \frac{0.72}{0.06}[/tex]
x = $12
Therefore the original price of the bracelet before tax is $12.
