Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The amount of money Susan saved for computer= $500

Let x be the cost of the computer.

Since, she have to pay 70 % of the cost of the computer thus, we have the following equation

70% of x=$500

[tex]\\\Rightarrow0.70x=\$550\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{\$550}{0.70}=\$785.714\approx\$786[/tex]

Thus, she can afford a computer of cost $786
