$800 was the purchase price.
$800 x 5% (.05) = $40
The formula is actually p=rxb (percent = rate x base)
Thus 40 = 5% x base
Bringing .05 across, makes it 40 ÷ .05 = base
Base equals 800

The a million represents the unique value, it really is 100% no remember what. the tax is the p.c. further on to that, so if it 15%, the full value is the unique plus the tax, which could make it 100 and fifteen%.

38.10
38.10 + 1.90 (5% tax) = 40
I did 5% of 40 because everyone else did the right way! lol

purchase price * .05 = 40
divide each side by .05
40/.05 = 800
Purchase price = $800

5% = 1/20th. $40.00 x 20.= $800.00
$800.00 x .05= $40.00
