Hi,
Is there a quick methodology in doing this kind of sum?
Diana bought a stereo for $530 which was the retail price plus a 6percent sales tax.
1.06x=$530
x = $530/1.06
x=?
I could probably do $53000/106 but it looks like a little more tedious. This is the kind of problem i struggle with in terms of doing the actual calculation or mental math.
