You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"+p+\" = the original price
\n" ); document.write( "\"+p+%2B+.3p+=+1.3p+\" is the original price
\n" ); document.write( "with a 30% markup
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Now discount this price by 20%
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.3p+-+.2%2A%28+1.3p+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.3p+-+.26p+=+1.04p+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "This is the final price, an you are told
\n" ); document.write( "it is $450, so
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.04p+=+450+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+p+=+450%2F1.04+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+p+=+432.69+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The original price should be $432.69\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
