Yasmin bought several items at the discount store. She paid 8.75 percent sales tax, an amount of $4.59, on the total amount of her purchase. What was the total amount of her purchase before tax was added?

Respuesta :

divide the total tax by the rate

8.75% = 0.0875

4.59/.0875 = 52.457 round to 52.46

4.59/.0875

$52.46

hope this helps
