The amount of taxes on a chair was $3.60 the text is the tax rate was 5% find the original price of the chair??

Original Price = $72.

Step-by-step explanation:

You first need to know that $3.60 is 5% of the original price.

Then you need to multiply by 20, because 100/5 is 20, meaning that the price multiplied is $72.

The answer is $72.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
