<span>1. </span><span>Gaetano spent 37.80 dollars
including the tax for a pair of jeans
=> the tax is 8%, how much is the original cost of a pair of jeans?
=> 8% = 8/100
=> .08
Now, multiply .08 by 37.80 to get the 8% of 37.80
=> 37.80 x .08
=> 3.024 – this is the tax of a pair of jeans.
now, let’s subtract 3.024 by 37.80 to get the actual price of a pair of jeans.
=> 37.80 – 3.024
=> 34.776 – the original price of a pair of jeans without tax.
