Standard Operating Procedure for Original Asset Value

Imagine you are an assistant manager in the corporate fleet department. A trainee asks you how to find the original price of a vehicle if they only know its current value and the fraction of the original price it represents. Using the example of a car currently valued at $12,000, which is 3/4 of its original price (p), write a short essay explaining the formal 6-step problem-solving strategy required to find the original price. Your response must describe each step of the process and specifically name the mathematical property used to isolate the variable 'p'.
