<human>:  Venny spent $15000 on a used car which cost 40% of the original price. What was the original price of the car?
<bot>: Define a variable ** Let x be the original price of the car.
How much did the car cost? ** Then 40% * x = $15000
What was the original price of the car? ** Thus x = $15000 / 0.4 = $<<15000/0.4=37500>>37500
#### 37500
