105 = 30.88
100 = x
x=100x30.88 / 105 =$ 29.40952381

Let x = original cost
$30.88 = x + x / 20
$617.6 = 20x + x
21x = $617.6
x ~ $29.41

30.88/100 = 0.3088
0.3088x5=1.544
30.88+1.544=32.424

$29.41
$30.88= x+(x*.05)
Solve for x
If x= 1 item, then
30.88/1.05

total = price + tax
total = price + .05price = 1.05price
30.88 = 1.05price
30.88/1.05 = price
