Question 243141
car is sold for x dollars
sales woman's commission was 10% of the sale price which made it .1*x
gwen gets .9x
gwen received 6570
.9x = 6570
x = 6570/.9 = 7300


the car sold for 7300


the sales lady took out 10% which means she received 730.


gwen got 7300 - 730 = 6570


I believe the variable you are looking for is x which is the selling price of the vehicle.


the equation for what gwen got would be:


6570 = (1-.10)*x


this makes the the equation for the selling price of the vehicle to become:


x = 6570/(1-.10) = 6570 / .9


6570/.9 = 7300
