Question 152258
We know that the sales price of the car was 20% off the original price. Let's represent the original price as x. The sales price is equal to the original price (x) minus 20% of the original price:
{{{12950 = x - (20/100)x}}}
<br>We can solve this equation for x:
{{{12950 = x - (20/100)x}}}
{{{12950 = x - 0.2x}}}
{{{12950 = (1 - 0.2)x}}}
{{{12950 = 0.8x}}}
{{{12950/0.8 = x}}}
{{{x = 16187.50}}}
<br>The original price of the car is $16187.50
