Let \"+c+\" = the original cost of the car
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.4c+\" = price of car with 40% profit added
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.4c+-+.2%2A%28+1.4c+%29+=+1.4c%2A%28+1+-+.2+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.8%2A1.4c+=+1.12c+\" = selling price with discount subtracted
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The profit is [ final selling price ] minus [ cost ]
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.12c+-+c+=+%28+1.12+-+1+%29%2Ac+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.12c+=+3600+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+c+=+30000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The original cost of the car was $30,000
\n" ); document.write( "Hope I got it!
