Ms. Malia bought a laptop with a 10% discount. She also bought a mouse for $13.99 and spent a total of $621.49 before taxes. Write an equation to find the original cost of the laptop, x i don't need the cost of x i just need a equation with x as the answer

$675

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of laptop

Discount = 10%

Actual price paid = x - 10% of x

= x - .10x

= .90x

Cost of mouse = $13.99

Total amount paid = $621.49

Total amount paid = actual cost of laptop + Cost of mouse

621.49 = .90x + 13.99

621.49 - 13.99 = .90x

607.5 = .90x

x = 607.5 / .90

= 675

Original cost of the laptop = $675
