Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\$440[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the cost of the items Kira's store sold

Remember that

[tex]5\%=5/100=0.05[/tex] ----> sales tax in decimal number

we know that

The cost of the items that Kira's store sold multiplied by the sales tax in decimal number must be equal to $22

so

[tex]0.05x=22[/tex]

Solve for x

Divide by 0.05 both sides

[tex]x=\$440[/tex]
