Explanation:
Let 'x' be the selling price of the house:
[tex]11,700=\frac{6}{100}x[/tex]Solving for x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{6}{100}x=11,700 \\ 6x=100\times11,700 \\ x=\frac{100\times11,700}{6}=\frac{1,117,000}{6} \\ x=195,000 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer:
The selling price of the house was $195,000
