\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the original price per one top.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the price after discount is (x-6), and the equation for the purchase is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    4(x-6) = 51.80.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "To solve, first divide both sides by 4\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x - 6 = 51.80/4\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x - 6 = 12.95\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "and find x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x = 12.95 + 6 = 18.95.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The original price is/was 18.95.\r\n" );
