Does anyone know the answer ?!?!

so he paid x then he added 1/5 of the price to the motorcycle and sold it for 13,800 or 6/5 of the origonal price if 6/5 of origonal price=13,800 you divide 13,800 by 6 to get the amout he marked it up by ([6/5]/6 or 6/5*6 or 1/5) so 2300 is the amount that he marked the price up by so 13,800-2300=origonal price=$11,500

The car was first marked at 69,000. You would simply multiple 13800 by 5 to get the total price.

The original price of the motorcycle is $11,500, calculated by solving the equation 5 6 ​ x = 13 , 800 . After determining the original price, we find that 5 1 ​ of this price, which is $2,300, was added to arrive at the selling price. Therefore, the markup and calculations are validated.
