HELP!!!!

A store offers a 15% discount on all items in the store during a sale. All store employees get an additional 10% employee discount. In the equation below, C represents the cost of an item for an employee including tax, and x represents the original price of the item.

C = 0.765x + 0.06(0.765x)

Chris is an employee at the store. He plans to buy a coat during the sale. The price of the coat before the discount is $100. How much will Chris pay for the coat during the sale?

Answer 1

If x represents the original price of the item, and the price of the coat before the discount Is $100, then x = 100. All you have to do is plug in 100 for x in the equation given to find C, or the price of the coat during the sale.
