As the car was discounted 10%, the new price represents 90% of the original price. Let x be the original price.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "90% of x is 16200\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2890%2F100%29%2Ax+=+16200\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"9x%2F10=16200\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"9x=162000\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=18000\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the car original price was $18,000. \n" ); document.write( "
