Answer :
Answer: $222.73
===========================================
Work Shown:
x = pre-GST price
10% of x = 0.10x = tax amount
x + 0.10x = 1.10x = post-GST price = 245
1.10x = 245
x = 245/1.10
x = 222.7272 approximately
x = 222.73 is the price before tax.
------------
Check:
10% of 222.73 = 0.10*222.73 = 22.273 = 22.27
The tax amount ($22.27) is added to the pre-GST price to get
22.27+222.73 = 245
which matches the post-GST price mentioned.
The answer is confirmed.
Or another way to confirm the answer is to calculate this
1.10*222.73 = 245.003 = 245
Answer:
$222.73
Explanation:
The multiplier would be 1.1 as (100% plus 10% as a decimal) and $245 is 110% and we want 100%. So 245 divided by 110 is 2.227 which would be 1%. But we want 100% so 2.227 x 100 is $222.73 (1 decimal place).
