    22/0.05 = 440

    therefore the cost of the item was $440

    (5% of 440 = 22)

    5% of sold is tax

    22.00=tax

    therefor

    22.00=5% of total

    5%=5/100=1/20

    'of' means multiply

    22.00=1/20 times totl

    multiply both sides by 20/1 to clear fraction

    440.00=total

    cost of items is $440.00
