Brain Freeze..Help with Sales Tax question

[LostHiWay]

Lets say I have a number that includes the sales tax..how would I get how much tax was paid, say the tax rate is 7.45%

I can't remember how to do it

Whoops - misread

Edit: Total = Subtotal + Subtotal x .0745
Total = Subtotal(1.0745)
Total/1.0745 = Subtotal
Subtotal x .0745 = Tax
Tax = (Total / 1.0745) x .0745

Divide the total by 1.0745.
