Here are two ways of doing it.
************************************************************
1) The current price is 100% of the price. The price went down by 6%, so since 100% - 6% = 94%, the new price is 94% of the original price.
94% * 175 = 0.94 * 175 = 164.50
The new price is 164.50
*******************************************************
2) The discount is 6% of 175, so first, we find the discount.
6% of 175 = 0.06 * 175 = 10.5
Now we subtract the amount of the discount from the original price.
175 - 10.50 = 164.50
The new price is 164.50
**********************************************************
As you can see, both methods give you the same answer, 164.50

Answer:
x = -1
, y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the following system:
{5 x + 3 y = 10 | (equation 1)
x = y - 6 | (equation 2)
Express the system in standard form:
{5 x + 3 y = 10 | (equation 1)
x - y = -6 | (equation 2)
Subtract 1/5 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{5 x + 3 y = 10 | (equation 1)
0 x - (8 y)/5 = -8 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by -5/8:
{5 x + 3 y = 10 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)
Subtract 3 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{5 x+0 y = -5 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 5:
{x+0 y = -1 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = -1
, y = 5
