Originally it was priced X.
\n" ); document.write( "I reduced it 14% or subtracted 0.14 of the total price, X.
\n" ); document.write( "The sell price is then (1-0.14)*X or 0.86X
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0.86X=22360\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X=27950\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Original price = $27,950. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
