\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the marked price, in dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then (x-0.15x) should be equal to  1.15*6490,  or  0.85x = 1.15*6490  dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From this equation,  x =  = 8780.5882.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It gives the ANSWER :  the marked price should be $8781  (rounded to the nearest dollar).\r\n" );
