Todays Math Problem of the Day

Question

Here's todays math problem of the day (I'm not doing a weird one today but I'll do a weird one tomorrow):

You buy your favorite band's new album. The receipt says that the total cost of the album is $11.65, including a 6% sales tax. What was the original price of the album without the tax?

Answer 1

last time I checked, Garmarna albums cost 56$
Maybe due to shipment (They're from in Sweden)

verrry perfect indeed

Answer 2

$10.95.

I multiplied 11.65 by 0.06, then subtracted the product of that (0.699) from 11.65. I got 10.951, so I rounded down to $10.95.
