Gwen bought a new Toyota Corolla. The selling price plus the 8% state sales tax..?

You should take 10% off because it might have a defect.

The selling price was x
There was a sales tax of 8%x
The total was 15714

x + 8/100 x = 15714
x + 0.08x = 15714
1.08x = 15714 Divide by 1.08
x = 15714/ 1.08 = 14550
 
Final price is the original price plus the tax... The tax is the original price multiplied by the rate.

tax = 8 % = 0.08%
for a $15,714 item, 8% of that is 15714 x 0.08

after you find the tax, add that to your original price of $15,714, and there's your answer
