Neal buys a board game. he pays for the board game and pays $1.54 in sales tax. the sales tax is 5.5%

$1.46

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the original price of the game, write a proportion. $1.54 is the amount after a 5.5% tax rate. This means he paid 105.5% on the original price.

Find y by cross multiplying numerator and denominator of each fraction.

1.54(100) = 105.5y

154 = 105.5y

1.46 = y

thats the answer

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
