Respuesta :

The the price of jacket before the sales tax was added was $50, if 6 percent of tax was added.

According to the given question.

The amount paid by a coustomer including the sale tax for a jacket is $53.00.

And 6 percent tax was added.

So,

Amount of tax paid by coustomer

= 6 percent of $53

= 6/100 × 53

= 318/100

= $3.18

Therefore, the price of jacket before the sales tax was added

= $53 - $3.18

= $49.82

≈ $50

Hence, the the price of jacket before the sales tax was added was $50, if 6 percent of tax was added.
