Total = $212 Let’s use the letter T for total

Let’s use the letter P for Price before tax

let’s use T for tax

Total = Price + Tax

T = P + T

However tax = 6% of Price

T = P + 6% of P

= 106% of P

= 106/100 x P

If we divide both sides of the equation by 106, then multiply both sides by 100, then the equation is

100/106 x T = P

Ted bought school books that totalled $212.00 (tax included). If the tax was 6%, how much were the books before tax? I know the answer, just can't figure out the equation to prove it. thanks, JeanM Please tell me what the algebraic equation would be for the following.
