Assume the price of the boat to be a variable. Say $x$ $x$

$6 %$ $6%$ of the Price(tax) = $540$ $540$

$6 %$ $6%$ of x = $540$ $540$

$(\frac{6}{100}) x = 540$ $(6/100)x = 540$

$\to x = \frac{540 \cdot 100}{6}$ $-> x = (540* 100)/6$

$\to x = 90 \cdot 100$ $-> x = 90*100$

$\to x = 9000$ $->x = 9000$

The price of the boat will be $9000 $$ $color(green)(9000$$
