Answer 2

$75,000 Balance
+10,000 net
=85,000/.94=$90,425

Is this correct?

Answer 3

You can add the $75K and the 10K, then multiply the $85K by 0.06, then add that number to the $85K.

Answer 4

Well, then, I suppose add another 6% of the 6%.

Answer 5

Ps-0.06Ps = 75,000 + 10,000.
0.94Ps = 85,000.
Ps = $90,426 = Selling price.
