Question 205021

Since Gwen received $6,570 and the saleswoman’s commission was 10%, it means that the $6,570 that Gwen received was reduced by the saleswoman’s 10% commission, thereby leading to Gwen receiving only 90% of the amount that the car was sold for.


Therefore, we’re looking at $6,570 representing 90%, and finding out what amount represents 100%.


We then get:  {{{.9/1=6570/P}}}

By cross-multiplication, we get:   .9P  =  6,570 (EQUATION YOU’RE SEEKING)


Going further, we can see that the selling price of the car was {{{6570/.9}}}  =  ${{{highlight_green(7300)}}}
