Here are some guidelines for word problems. "is" is the same as = "this" is the variable.

So

"What is" the "price" tax "is set to 140"
x = 140 (.0825) 140

Put it out and did it.

8.25% = 0.0825

140 * 1.0825 = $ 151.55

the easiest and best way of taxes to add anything, use this formula

P = O (1 + r)

while P is the price after taxes
Or is the first prize
and R is the tax itself

P = 140 (1 +, 0825)
P = 140 (1.0825)
P = $ 151.55

------------------------------

If you already have a bid problem, change the + to --
