Since we know that $12,590 is 20% off of the original price, we know that $12,590 is 80% of the original price.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Look at this problem as one of those \"n is __% of what number?\" problems.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then it becomes 12,590 is 80% of the original price,\"X\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$12,590=.80x
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2412%2C590%2F.8\"=\".8x%2F.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2412%2C5900%2F8\"=x
\n" ); document.write( "$15,737.50=x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The original price is $15,737.50
