Anton bought a picnic cooler. his total bill, with tax, was $7.95. he paid 6 percent sales tax. how much did he pay for the cooler alone without the tax?

Cost of cooler alone = $ 7.47 Explanation: Method 1: 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 Method 2: 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

60 ÷ -20 x makes x = -3

Ithink the answer is: it is likely.
