A new car has a list price of ​$31,500. Suppose that the dealer markup on this car is 10 %. To determine the​ dealer's cost for the​ car, solve the equation x+0.10x=31,500 where x represents the​ dealer's cost for the car before markup.

The answer to your question is really simple just take $31,500 and subtract 10%. The initial price would be $28350.
Unless you need it to be solved the other way in which it would be 28636.363636.
