    155$ is how much they paid before tax

    155 * 1.08 = 167.4

    1.08 = 108%

    or

    155 * 0.08 = 12.4

    12.4 + 155 = 167.4

    0.08 = 8%

    your answer is 155

    Let x is the original bill

    x + 0.08x = 167.4

    1.8x = 167.4

    x = 167.4 / 1.8

    x = 155

    answer: $155 was their bill before the tax was added to it
