Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, there!!!
Let's simply work with it,
Here,
tax=$1.54
rate of tax= 5.5%
now, let the original price be x.
so, 5.5% of x= $1.54 { tax amount = tax% of original price}.
or, 5.5/100 × x= $1.54
or, 5.5x = $1.54×100
or, x= $28.
Therefore, the original price was $28.
Hope it helps...
