Correct my solution if I'm wrong.
Let CP = C
Sales tax = 11% of C = 0.11C
Therefore x = C + 0.11C = 1.11C
Actually tax on 75% of C = 1.11 * 0.75 C
C = x/(1.11) * (0.75)
Let CP = C
Sales tax = 11% of C = 0.11C
Therefore x = C + 0.11C = 1.11C
Actually tax on 75% of C = 1.11 * 0.75 C
C = x/(1.11) * (0.75)
