Sharon paid $78 sales tax on a new camera. If the sales tax is 6.5%, what was the cost of the camera?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

78 = 6.5%

This means that if you divide 78 by 6.5, you get the equivalent of 1% of the price:

78 ÷ 6.5 = 12

So 1% = 12

Now simply multiply this by 100 to get the full answer:

12 x 100 = 1200

So the camera cost $1200!

Answer:

$1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

78 divided by 6.5=12

With percents you have to multiply to get out of 100 so:

12x100=1,200

78 divided by 6.5%=1,200
