You can put this solution on YOUR website! A store was having a hard time selling its frying pans so it marked the pans down 20% the pans still would not sell and were marked down an additional 20% from the sale price. The pans now sold for $16 each.
---------
Note: If the price on an item is reduced 20% the price you pay
is 80% of the origial price.
--------------------------------
Let the original price be "x".
Equation:
0.8*0.8x = 16
0.64x = 16
x = $25
