Aman realizes he lost the detailed receipt from the store and only has the credit card receipt with the after-tax total. if the after-tax total was $1,814.31, and the tax rate in the area is 6.1%, what was the pre-tax subtotal?

For the pre-rax subtotal x you have this equation

   x + 0.074x = 408.12  dollars.

   x*(1 + 0.074) = 408.12

   1.074x = 408.12  >  x = 408.12%2F1.074. 408.12/1.074
