when leo imported a certainitem, he made a 7 percent import tax on the total value of the item in excess of $1000. if the amount of the import taxthat leo paid was $87.50,what was the total value of the item?

key: 2250

我的做法：设the total value of the item 为x

x>1000, and 7%x=87.5

所以 x=1250

怎么答案不一样呢？盼解答！谢谢！：）

he made a 7 percent import tax on the total value of the item in excess of $1000，本句话的意思是超过1000以上的部分要付7％的进口税，所以最后还要再加上1000刀。
