Answer:

The selling price of car = $ 6524.96

Explanation:

Let the selling price of car be x.

Noa was paid 25 percent commission for selling a used car.

According to problem,

i.e 25% of selling price = 1631.24

or 25/100 * x = 1631.24

or 25x = 1631.24 * 100

or x = 163124 / 25

or x =6524.96

Hence the selling price of car = $ 6524.96
