    7170 is the correct answer.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The original price is 6.5% more than what he actually paid. There are two ways to answer this.

    First Way: Take 6.5% of 6732 which is (6.5/100) * 6732 = 437.58 Add this amount onto 6732. This will give you 6732 + 437.58 = 7169.58 The second way is slightly shorter. Add 6.5% onto 100% which = 106.5% of the paid amount. That should give you the second step directly. (106.5 / 100) * 6732 = 7169.58
