You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x - .20x = 12,590 {Let x represent the unknown original amount; subtract 20% of the original (x) price]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".80x = 12,590 [Subtract the x-terms]
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(\".80x%2F.80%29\" = (\"12%2C590%2F.80%29\" [ Isolate the x-term through division]
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x = $15,737.50 [Original price]
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
