Given Situation:
Majed bought a new pair of jeans. After the 15% sales tax the price became 11.50 dollars.
Let’s start solving to find the original price of the jeans Majed bought.
=> 15% = 15 / 100 = .15
=> 10 dollars * .15 = 1.5 dollars.
Now, let’s add this production to get the total amount that Majed paid.
=> 10 + 1.5 = 11.5 dollars
=> 10 is the original price of the jeans plus the 15% sales tax, total is 11.5 dollars
