    Given:

    tax value = 3.60

    tax rate = 5%

    To solve for the tax value, we use this formula:

    Tax value = Original price * tax rate

    Since the original price is missing, we derive the formula from the above formula:

    Original price = tax value : tax rate

    Original price = 3.60 : 5%

    Original price = 72

    The original price is 72.

    72 x 5% = 3.60
