Found a receipt for $155.81, tax included if the sales tax was 6% what is the list price

Answer 1

Let's call the list price before tax X.

The total amount including tax is $155.81. This amount is equal to the list price plus the amount of tax:

X + 6% of X = $155.81

1.06X = $155.81
X = $155.81 / 1.06
X ≈ $146.79

Therefore, the list price before tax was approximately $146.79.
