Hi,
After receiving a discount of 12.5% on its bulk order of printer paper regular cost{{{highlight(x)}}}   
Johns’ Office Supply pays $3200. 
 regular price - discount  = $3200
         x - .125x = $3200
         x(1 - .125) = $3200         
        x(1 - .125) = $3200/(.875)
          x = $3657 (Rounded to the nearest dollar)
