Answer
$\$325$
Work Step by Step
Let $x$= original price
Having a tax rate of $6\%$ means that $6\%$ was added to the original price.
Thus, the total rice including the taxes is represented by:
$x(1+6\%) = x(106\%) = x(1.06) = 1.06x$
Hence,
$1.06x = \$3434.50
\\\dfrac{1.06x}{1.06} = \dfrac{\$344.50}{1.06}
\\x = \$325$
