Question 495076
after reciving a discount of 12.5% on a buy order of printer paper, John's office supply pays $3200. what was the price of the order before the discount? round to the nearest dollar.
---
Let original price be "x":
Equation:
x - 0.125x = 3200
---
0.875x = 3200
x = 3200/0.875
x = $3657,14
================
