Question 99005
A student sold his car for $4680. He made a 20% profit. What is the original price of the vehicle. I know the answer is $3900 but I can't understand how they come up with that answer.
--------------
Let the original price of the car be "x" dollars.
-----------
EQUATION:
x + 0.20x =4680
1.2x = 4680
x = $3900
