After receiving a discount of 6.5% on its bulk order of notebooks, John's Office Supply pays $6732. What was the price of the order before the discount?

Answer
A
$6631
B
$7170
C
$7200
D
$6294

Explanation

After a 6.5% discount, John’s Office Supply pays 100% − 6.5% = 93.5% of the original price. Divide $6,732 by 0.935 to get $7,200, so the price before the discount was $7,200 (choice c).
