The the price of jacket before the sales tax was added was $50, if 6 percent of tax was added.
According to the given question.
The amount paid by a coustomer including the sale tax for a jacket is $53.00.
And 6 percent tax was added.
So,
Amount of tax paid by coustomer
= 6 percent of $53
= 6/100 × 53
= 318/100
= $3.18
Therefore, the price of jacket before the sales tax was added
= $53 - $3.18
= $49.82
≈ $50
