Given Situation: Majed bought a new pair of jeans. After the 15% sales tax the price became 11.50 dollars. Let’s start solving to find the original price of the jeans Majed bought. => 15% = 15 / 100 = .15 => 10 dollars * .15 = 1.5 dollars. Now, let’s add this production to get the total amount that Majed paid. => 10 + 1.5 = 11.5 dollars => 10 is the original price of the jeans plus the 15% sales tax, total is 11.5 dollars
