Answer:

$24

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information you have that the price of items is $25.20 and it includes a 5% tax. From this, you can write the following:

x+0.05x=25.20

Then, you can isolate x to find the price before tax:

1.05x=25.20

x=25.20/1.05

x= 24

According to this, the price before tax of the food items is $24.
