\n" ); document.write( "15% off means he is paying 85% of the original price.

\n" ); document.write( "Adding 8% on the purchase price means multiplying the purchase price by 1.08.

\n" ); document.write( "So the original price has been multiplied by 0.85 and then by 1.08; the final price is $211.14. So

\n" ); document.write( "\"x%280.85%29%281.08%29+=+211.14\"

\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+211.14%2F%280.85%2A1.08%29+=+230\"

\n" ); document.write( "The original price was $230.
