You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Gwen sold her car on consignment for x dollars. The
saleswoman’s commission was 10% of the selling price
and Gwen received $6570.
------------
Equation:
What Gwen received + what saleswoman received = price of the car
6570 + (0.10)x = x
6570 = 0.90x
x = 6570/0.90
x = $7300
