math question - not sure why I can't fuigure this out.
I have a total amount on an invoice and I know the tax rate, but I can't figure out how to get the pre-tax amount and tax amount.
X = original amount. (x *.08375) + x = $20959.39
my brain is sad this morning.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So,
x * (1+.08375) = 20959.39
x = 20959.39 / 1.08375
x = 19339.69

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
(x • 0.08375) + x = $20959.39
1.08375 • x = $20959.39
x = $20959.39 ÷ 1.08375
x = $19339.69

Ooh. Pretty! Too bad they're only concepts....
NTT Docomo unveils wood-based cell phone concepts
Japan's leading cell phone giant NTT Docomo is joining the growing trend of ecology-as-cool with the introduction of the new TOUCH WOOD concept phones. Made from real surplus wood, the project was spearheaded by noted musician Ryuichi Sakamoto and uses an interface inspired by the photographer Mikiya Takimoto.
But I think if these were actually produced, they'd have to change the name. "Touch Wood"?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Fred, I am so very sorry.
