\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What is the original price if it is 20% off and you pay $75?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1st.) We know the original price is considered 100%\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So...Subtract the discount from the original percent.
\n" ); document.write( "100% (original percent)
\n" ); document.write( "20% (discount percent)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "80%\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2nd.) Make equation. We need the percent to be in decimal form so move the decimal point to the left two places. (80% will now equal 0.8)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0.8x=$75
\n" ); document.write( "0.8x/0.8=$75/0.8
\n" ); document.write( "x=$93.75\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The original price is $93.75 if it is 20% off you will pay $75.\r
