    Step-by-step explanation:

    To determine the sales tax, we multiply the price times the tax rate

    tax = price * rate

    16.15 = price * 9.25%

    Changing to decimal form

    16.15 = price *.0925

    Divide each side by. 0925

    16.15/.0925 = price *.0925/.0925

    174.5945946 = price

    Rounding to the nearest cent

    174.59
