Explanation:

Step1: Find sale price per necktie

Total paid is $162 for 6 neckties. So sale price per necktie is $\frac{162}{6} = 27$.

Step2: Find full price per necktie

Sale price is $5 less than full price. Let full price be $x$. Then $x - 5 = 27$. Solving for $x$, we get $x = 27 + 5 = 32$.

Answer:

32
