Stacie paid $13.25 for new earphones. The price she paid included a sales tax of 6%.

What was the price of the earphones before the tax was added?

A.

$12.46

B.

$12.50

C.

$13.19

D.

$14.05

Let us assume the original cost of the earphones = x dollars

Then

x * (106/100) = 13.25

x = 13.25 * (100/106)

= 1325/106

= 12.50 dollars

So the actual cost of the earphones was $12.50. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B".
