Amotorcycle dealer paid a certain price for a motorcycle and marked it up by 1/5 of the price he paid. later, he sold it for $14. what is the original price? ? plzz i will give you 100 pointd

Step-by-step explanation:

A motorcycle dealer paid a certain price for a motorcycle

certain price = x

And marked it up by 1/5 of the price he paid.

marked price = 6/5x

Because x + 1/5x = 6/5x

Later, he sold it for $14.

6/5x = 14

1/5x = 14/6

x = 14/6 * 5

14 * 5 = 70

70/6 = 35/3

x = 35/3

x = 35/3 = $11.666666667

Substitute this back in to check it's right.

11.666666667 * 6/5 = 14

sorry can't
