Answer
Find out the what was the price of the stereo .
To prove
Let us assume that the price of the stereo be x .
As given
Consumer Math The sales tax in the town where Amanda lives is 7%.
7% is written in the decimal form
[tex]= \frac{7}{100}[/tex]
= 0.07
As given
Amanda paid $35 in sales tax on a new stereo .
Than the equation becomes
x × 0.07 = 35
[tex]x = \frac{35}{0.07}[/tex]
solving the above
x = $ 500
Therefore the price of the stereo is $ 500 .
Hence proved
