Kwame purchased a washer for $312.20. The price of the washer included sales tax of 11.5%.


Which equation can be used to find the price, p, of the washer before tax?


A.

11.5p = 312.20


B.

p + 0.115p = 312.20


C.

0.115p = 312.20


D.

p + 11.5p = 312.20

Verified Answer :

Correct answer is B. Lets assume p is price with no tax. To get tax we can multiply 11.5% times p. 11.5% its 0.115p
Now we can add p and 0.115p to get 312.2
Finally we get the following eq
p+0.115p=312.2
