Ok so x is the original price and we want to solve if the original price was 48 so x=48. When we substitute this into the equation we get 0.75(48)-0.15(0.75x48). When we simplify this expression we get 30.6. The current price is $30.60. Hope this helps.

Answer:
$34.49
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure out this problem, you would need to divide the total price by the total amount of items you are buying
In this case it is...
172.45/5
=34.49
So the price of each item is approx. $34.49
Let <em>x</em> = 8.132132132...
Then 1000<em>x</em> = 8132.132132132...
Subtract <em>x</em> from 1000<em>x</em> to eliminate the fractional part:
1000<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 8132.132132132... - 8.132132132...
999<em>x</em> = 8132 - 8 = 8124
<em>x</em> = 8124/999 = 2708/333
