Question

Marvin gate bought some fencing from a wholesaler for $6,000. The wholesaler offered a trade discount of 35%. What was the original price?

Answer 1

$8100

Explanation:

multiply 6000 by 1.35 (135%)

6000 * 1.35 = $8100

Don't mind this:

`(x - (0.35 * x)) = 6000`

`x=9230(10)/(13)\\x=9230.769231\\x=9230.77\\x=9230.8\\x=9231`

Answer 2

8100?

Explanation:

6000×35%=2100

6000+2100=8100
