Let $\"+p+\"$ = the original price of the item
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+-+.4x+=+x+-+32+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.6x+=+x+-+32+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.4x+=+32+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+80+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The original price of the item was $80
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "$80 minus $32 = $48
\n" ); document.write( "$80 minus 40% = $48
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
