  Given:
Total price = $541.25
Tax rate = 8.25%

Solution:
Let x be the original price before tax

Convert the rate into decimal
8.25% = 0.0825

Since the original price + tax = $541.25 then
x + 0.0825x = 541.25
1.0825x = 541.25
x = $500

Check:
Original price + (Original price x tax) = $541.25
$500 + ($500 x 0.0825) = ?
$500 + 41.25 = ?
$541.25

Therefore the original price of the tv is $500
