Answer:  Original price of telescope is $91.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount Jane paid in tax on a telescope = $4.55

Rate of tax = 5%

Let the price of the telescope be x

According to question,

[tex]\frac{5}{100}\times x=4.55\\\\x=\frac{100}{5}\times 4.55\\\\x=20\times 4.55\\\\x=\$91[/tex]

Hence, Original price of telescope is $91.
