I need some quick math help...

:facepalm:

Yeah I know. Its been awhile. I was just thinking to myself, and Im kinda confused. So, say theres a $15,000 car. I know 20% off would be to multiply it by .80 = 12,000.

But, say you didnt know the original price. You had 12,000 and knew it was discounted by 20%. How would you get to 15,000?

You'd set up an algebraic equation.  Let x be the original price; then you know that x * .8 = 12000.  Solve for x, and you get x = 12000 / .8 = 15000.

Then you introduce a variable say x=original price. So then .8x=12,000 or in other words x=12,000/.8 or 120,000/8=x=15,000.
