Question 986448
x = selling price


take 6% of the selling price to get 0.06x. This is the amount the real estate agent gets


The amount danny gets is x - 0.06x = 0.94x


He wants $136,000, so,


0.94x = 136000


0.94x/0.94 = 136000/0.94 <font color="blue">Divide both sides by 0.94</font>


x = 144,680.85106383


x = 144,681  <font color="blue">Round to the nearest dollar</font>


So the selling price should be <font color="red">$144,681</font>
