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
The answer is 78 because when you add all the numbers it equals 780 and you need to divide the end sum by the amount of numbers added to get it. So in the end there were 10 numbers added to equal 780 so 780\10 equals 78
Is there a specific question?
Pemdas is usually the general order to solving exponential equations.
(P) Parenthesis, as in simplify what is inside a parenthesis first.
(E) Exponents
(M) Multiplication
(D) Division
(A) Addition
(S) Subtraction, Subtraction would occur last.

That's very interesting. I had never thought about it before.
Let's look through all of the ten possible digits in that place,
and see what we can tell:
-- 0:
A number greater than 10 with a 0 in the units place is a multiple of
either 5 or 10, so it's not a prime number.
-- 1:
A number greater than 10 with a 1 in the units place could be
a prime (11, 31 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (21, 51).
-- 2:
A number greater than 10 with a 2 in the units place has 2 as a factor
(it's an even number), so it's not a prime number.
-- 3:
A number greater than 10 with a 3 in the units place could be
a prime (13, 23 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (33, 63) .
-- 4:
A number greater than 10 with a 4 in the units place is an even
number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.
-- 5:
A number greater than 10 with a 5 in the units place is a multiple
of either 5 or 10, so it's not a prime number.
-- 6:
A number greater than 10 with a 6 in the units place is an even
number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.
-- 7:
A number greater than 10 with a 7 in the units place could be
a prime (17, 37 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (27, 57) .
-- 8:
A number greater than 10 with a 8 in the units place is an even
number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.
-- 9:
A number greater than 10 with a 9 in the units place could be
a prime (19, 29 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (39, 69) .
So a number greater than 10 that IS a prime number COULD have
any of the digits 1, 3, 7, or 9 in its units place.
It CAN't have a 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, or 8 .
The only choice that includes all of the possibilities is 'A' .
