Answer:
$1,270
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the total amount of ice cream sold without tax
x + (x*0.0635)=21270
1.0635x=21270
x=20,000
so the amount he needs to send to state is
21270-20000
1,270
Total cost of icecream without cost be x
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x+0.0635x=21270[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 1.0635x=21270[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=21270/1.0635=20000[/tex]
Amount to be paid
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 21270-20000=1270[/tex]
