If you pay $22.90 for a DVD that includes a 7% sales tax, what is the price of the DVD before the sales tax?

$21.40
$21.30
$21.50
$20.95

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

If y represents the price of the DVD before the tax. Then price with tax would be y + 0.07y = $22.90. Therefore, 1.07y = 22.90, or y = 22.90/1.07 = $21.40. Be careful not to just take 7% of $22.90 and subtract. That is incorrect.
