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

$1200

Step-by-step explanation: Lets use the percent equation.

78 = 0.065 x t     (Convert 6.5% to a decimal and t = total cost of camera.)

78/0.065 = 0.065t/0.065

t = 1200

So the total cost of the camera is $1,200

I have a question for you though, is this a question in your Envision Math book as a review for lesson 4-3?

your answer would be b

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 1 1/72

step-by-step explanation:

you can rewrite the equation by separating the parts and then solving individually:

10-9=1

1/8 - 1/9=

find l c d and then combine:

1 1/72
