500 Because 35/7 = 5 and 5*100 (100%) = $500

Answer:

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the stereo be x

The sales tax in the town where Amanda lives is 7%

So,Amount of tax = [tex]7\% \times x[/tex]

                              = [tex]\frac{7}{100} \times x[/tex]

We are given that Amanda paid $35 in sales tax

So, [tex]\frac{7}{100} \times x =35[/tex]

[tex]x =35 \times \frac{100}{7} [/tex]

[tex]x =500 [/tex]

Hence the price of the stereo is $500
