30 POINTS! Monica paid sales tax of $1.50 when she bought a new bike helmet. if the sales tax rate was 5%, how much did the stores charge for the helmet before tax?

Answer 1

Hmm... well, here ya go. 

1.50 ÷ 0.05 = 30 
So, the total is $30 
As for the tax rate, including the total, it would be $31.50.

Hope I helped.

1.50\0.05=30
plus tax equals $31.50
