Cost of the carpet before tax was $32.76.

What is percentage?

Percentage is defined as a given part or amount in every hundred

Cost of the carpet given = $36.36

Tax included in the cost = 10%

Cost of carpet without tax = 36.36 - ((10/100)*36.36) = $32.76

Hence the cost of carpet without tax is $32.76.
