Let us set up an equation, to determine the list price. X represents the original price
.12 * x = 25
In order to solve for X, you must divide .12 from both sides
x = 25/.12
After you divide, you should get the number 208.33
25/.12 = 208.33
So, the original list price is $208.33
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out equation
3x + 6 = 18
Step 2: Subtract 6 on both sides
3x = 12
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3
x = 4
