document.write( "Question 510063: Mr. Jamison buys a washing machine that is listed at $800. It is advertised at a 20% discount. At the store, he receives an additional 10% off the sale price, but he discovers that he must pay 6% sales tax on the reduced price of the machine plus a $40 delivery charge.

Call the list price $\"p\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Given: $\"++p+=+800+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "I think the equation would be:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+p+-+.2p%29%2A%28+1+-+.1+%29+%2A%28+1+%2B+.06+%29+%2B+40+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+p%2A.8%2A.9%2A1.06+%2B+40+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "cost of machine = $\"+.7632p+%2B+40+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Just plug in $\"+p+=+800+\"$ to solve \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
