The selling price for a classic car is $12,000, which is $500 less than two times its original price. What was the original price of the car?

Answer:$6250

Step-by-step explanation:

selling price (sp) = 12000

Original price (op) = ?

sp+500=2 x op

12000+500=2 x op

12500=2 x op

Divide both sides by 2

12500/2 = (2 x op) / 2

6250=op

Therefore original price is $6250
