The discounted amount can be determine by subtracting the discount from the base price. The discount can be calculated through the equation,

D = B x d

where D is discount, B is the base price, and d is the discount rate. Substituting the known values from the given,

D = ($8,750)(0.06)
D = $525

Using the concept presented above,
P = $8,750 - $525 = $8,225

ANSWER: $8,225
