Question from augustine: knowing an auctioneer charges a 7% fee and I know I want $74,400 what is the formula to determine selling price. |
Hi Augustine,
If the auctioneer get $7\%$ of the selling price then you get $100\% - 7\% = 93\%$ of the selling price. Hence if the selling price is $\$p$ then $0.93 \times \$p = \$74,400.$
