The amount of sales tax that is taken on the camera = $5.60 Percentage of sales tax taken on the camera = 8% Let us assume the actual price of the camera = x dollars Then (8%) * x = 5.60 (8/100) * x = 5.60 2x/25 = 5.60 2x = 5.60 * 25 2x = 140 x = 140/2 = 70 dollars So the actual price of the camera is $70. I hope the procedure is clear enough for your understanding. You can use this method for solving similar problems in future without requiring any help from outside.
