Joe spent $2500 on garage doors. He paid 6% sales tax. What was the original cost of the garage doors?

• Joe Spent 2500 totally that includes CP nd sales tax
  
  CP + 6% of CP = 2500 [CP represent cost price]
  
  so, 6% is 6/100 or 0.06.
  
  CP + 0.06 * CP = 2500
  
  1.06 * CP = 2500
  
  CP = 2500/1.06
  
  
  CP = 2358.49
