    For this problem we must backtrack, and deduct the sales tax!

    So lets make an equation to solve.

    original price = final price / (1 + sales tax rate) so

    op = 2000 / 1.06 = 1886.80

    lets see if this is correct!

    1886.80 * 0.06 = 113.208 < - tax

    1886.80 + 113.208 = 2000
