42. Julio paid \( 7 \frac{3}{4} \% \) sales tax on an item he bought. He figured that if he had bought the item in a neighboring state where the sales tax is \( 8 \frac{1}{4} \% \), he would have paid \( \$ 75 \) more. What was the cost of the item before tax? (C) \( \$ 15,000.00 \) (IS) \( \$ 3,750.00 \) (C) \( \$ 1,500.00 \) (D) \( \$ 150.00 \) (F) \( \$ 37.50 \)
