I need to be shown how to do this step by step

john said "i got an 18 percent discount on my new car and only had to pay $17,630!" what was the original price of the car?

Answer 1

Let x = original price

if you got an 18% discount and the final price is 17630, then

x - 0.18x = 17630

or

0.82x = 17630
