Answer:

Loss =175, sold = 3325

Explanation:

He bough at 3500

So 100 percent is 3500

And they said he had a 5% loss

So in other words, he sold it to Alex at 95% of the price he bought

So

3500 x 95%

3500 x 95/100

=3325

This is the price when Hitler sold it to alex

Now how much did Hitler lose?

3500 - 3325

=175

Answer:

Loss Amount: 175; Price: 3325

Explanation:

You can multiply 3500 by 0.05 (which is 5% in decimal) to find how much is the loss. Then, you subtract the loss from the base price to find the new price.
