Question 193010
Abby Kaminsky sold her ski house at Attitash Mountain in New Hampshire for $242,720. This sale represented a loss of 18% off the original price. What was the original price Abby paid for the ski house? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) 
Original price is $ 
-----------------------------
Let the original cost be "x".
Equation:
0.82x = 242,720
x = 242,720/0.82
x = $296,000.00
