Sagot :

Answer:

$315

Explanation:

The before-tax cost of the wood stove would comprise of 100% sales price plus 5% sales tax as hinted.

If 5%=$15=sales tax

before-tax sales price=100% sales price+5% sales tax

before-tax sales price=105%

sales tax of 5%=$15

1%=$15/5

1%=$3

105%=$3*105

105%(before tax sales price)=$315
