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...
