Anton bought a picnic cooler. his total bill, with tax, was $7.95. he paid 6% sales tax. solve for the amount he paid for the cooler alone without the tax.

Based on the question we now that

Cooler price + Cooler price x 6 %  =  $ 7.95

Let's tag cooler price as y , 

y   +   0.06 y    =  $ 7.95
  
  1.06  y          =     $ 7.95

y                  =  $ 7.95/1.06 
 
                     = $ 7.5

Hope this helps

The answer is a because - is an direction

Where is the rest of the question
