Answer:

The original price is $7926.83

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract the percent of the discount from the percent of the original cost:

100% - 18% = 82%

Step 2: Convert the percent to a decimal.

82% = 0.82

Step 3: Solve for the original price.


(0.82x)/(0.82) = (6500)/(0.82)

= 7926.829268 (Round to the nearest tenths)

$7926.83

Hope it helps!!!
