You didn't say if the car bought is the new car or the old car so I'm assuming the car bought for $22,500 is the new car.

You divide 22,500 by 2 to get the cost of the old car. When you do this, you find out the old car costed $11,250.

the equation is 22,500/2=p

If $22,500 is the cost of the old car, then it's not my fault that the poster did not make it clear. If the previous car costed $22,500, then the previous car costed $22,500
