Original price - discount = $27,000.00
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = original price. Change 15% to decimal (0.15)
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+-+0.15x+=+27000\" Simplify and solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.85x+=+27000\" Divide both sides by 0.85
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+31764.70\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Original price is $31,764.70
\n" ); document.write( "
