A customer paid $53.00 for a jacket after a 6 percent sales tax was added. What was the price of the jacket before the sales tax was added? Show work

The correct answer is: 49.82

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to turn 6% into a decimal.

6%=0.06 (6/100)

Then, you multiply 6% by $53.00

0.06*53=3.18

Finally, you subtract the sales tax ($3.18) from the total paid ($53.00)

53-3.18=49.82
