You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can say that $\"+x+\"$ is the original price
\n" ); document.write( "( $3,000 in this case )
\n" ); document.write( "Also say that $\"+p+\"$ is the price after whatever discounts
\n" ); document.write( "are applied
\n" ); document.write( "After 1st discount:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+p+=+x+-+.3x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+p+=+.7x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "After 2nd discount:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+p+=+.7x+-+.1%2A%28+.7x+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+p+=+.7x+-+.07x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+p+=+.63x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Now just say $\"+x+=+3000+\"$ and
\n" ); document.write( "solve for $\"+p+\"$ , the current price\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
