Translate the following verbal statement into an algebraic equation and then solve: Benjamin bought a patio set on sale for $110, which was one-third of the original price. What was the original price of the patio set?



Answer :

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the original price of the patio set x.

This can be written as 1/3x = 110 or x/3= 110.

Either way, you must perform inverse operations to get the variable, x, alone and so you would end up multiplying 110 times 3 = $330 for the original price of the patio set.
