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.
