Question

Marvin gate bought some fencing from a wholesaler for $6,000. The wholesaler offered a trade discount of 35%. What was the original price?

Answer 1

Answer:

8100?

Step-by-step explanation:

6000×35%=2100

6000+2100=8100

Answer 2

Answer:

$8100

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 6000 by 1.35 (135%)

6000 * 1.35 = $8100

Don't mind this:

$(x - (0.35 * x)) = 6000$

$x=9230\frac{10}{13}\\x=9230.769231\\x=9230.77\\x=9230.8\\x=9231$
