If he sells his property for $59,139.78 and pays 7% commission, this will allow him to retain a net of $55,000

Here's how i figured it out:
x = sale price

(sale price) - (sale price * 7%) = net price of $55,000

(x) - (0.07x) = 55,000

x(1 - 0.07) = 55,000

x = (55,000)/(1 - 0.07) = (55,000)/(0.93) = 59,139.78

x = $59,139.78

[tex]\frac { 93 }{ 100 } \cdot n=55,000\\ \\ 93n=5,500,000\\ \\ n=\frac { 5,500,000 }{ 93 } \\ \\ n=59139.78495\\ \\ [/tex]
