    Cost = 28 dollars before taxes.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If you take 5.5% of the price of the game, you get the original price of the game.

    Equation

    (5.5 / 100) * x = 1.54

    Solution

    Multiply both sides by 100

    5.5 * x / 100 * 100 = 1.54 * 100

    5.5 * x = 154

    Divide by 5.5 on both sides

    5.5x / 5.5 = 154/5.5

    x = 28

    The before tax cost of the board game = 28 dollars.
