Answer:

Purchase price = $412.94 (nearest cent)

Total price = $430.49 (nearest cent)

Step-by-step explanation:

Purchase price

If 4.25% = $17.55

⇒ 100% = (17.55 ÷ 4.25) × 100 = 412.9411765...

⇒ Purchase price = $412.94 (nearest cent)

Total price

total price = purchase price + sales tax

                 = $412.94 + $17.55

                 = $430.49

So let the original price be x

  • 4.25% of x=17.55
  • 0.0425x=17.55
  • x=17.55÷0.0425
  • $412.94

Total price:-

  • 412.94+17.55
  • $430.49
