Answer:

The price of the dinners including the tax is $86

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total price of the dinners without tax be x

Tax rate = 7.5%

So,Amount of tax =[tex]7.5\%x=\frac{7.5}{100}x[/tex]

We are given that The tax was $6.

So,[tex]\frac{7.5}{100}x=6[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{6 \times 100}{7.5}[/tex]

x=80

So, Cost including tax = 80+6=$86

Hence The price of the dinners including the tax is $86
