If Denise paid 50.64 for a dress after 5.5 sales tax what was the original price of the dress?

$48

To figure any sales tax question out, simply divide the final price by decimal percent + 1. To change percent to decimal move the decimal of the percent two spaces left. In this case 5.5% is 0.055 in decimal. 0.055 + 1 = 1.055. 50.64/1.055 = 48
