Answer 7

in the future if you need to do a problem like this, take the original value, and multiply all the % answers to it, but make sure you put a point in front of them so it will be like, 5000, 36% of 5000, so you do 0.36x5000, and do that for each answer and subtract the answer you got so 1800, the answer then will be 5000-1800, and do that for each answer until you get the right one, sorry if this was too long
