    Answer:C - $5,381 and $343

    Explanation:

    Andre Company had sales of $5,724 which has a 6% sales tax included in the sales.

    Therefore we need to calculate what the sales tax component in the sales figure is. It is calculated thus:

    Total sales including tax = $5, 724

    Sales tax charged is 6%

    Therefore actual sales = $5,724 * 6%

    Equals $343

    Adjusted sales is $5,724-$343 = $5,381.

    Adjusted Sales figure is $5,381

    Tax on sales is $343
