Answer:
$1.46
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the original price of the game, write a proportion. $1.54 is the amount after a 5.5% tax rate. This means he paid 105.5% on the original price.
[tex]\frac{1.54}{y}=\frac{105.5}{100}[/tex]
Find y by cross multiplying numerator and denominator of each fraction.
1.54(100) = 105.5y
154 = 105.5y
1.46 = y
