A 35% reduction brings the price down to
\n" ); document.write( "100% - 35% = 65% of the original price.
\n" ); document.write( "65% as a fraction and as a decimal is $\"65%2F100+=+0.65\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "If the original price was $\"x\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "the discounted price would be $\"0.65x\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "and if $\"0.65x\"$ = $ $\"442\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "then $\"x\"$ = $ $\"442%2F0.65\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "so $\"x\"$ = $ $\"highlight%28680%29\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "
