You can put this solution on YOUR website! You want to order a new computer. The manufacturer is offering a discount of 12% off the original price of the computer. With the discount, you pay $924. What is the original price?
------------------
Let the original price be "x".
---
Equation:
x - 0.12x = 924 dollars
0.88x = 924
x = 924/0.88
x = $1050 (original price)
