Seth bought a chair for $36. The regular price of the same chair is 3.5 times as much. What was the regular price of the chair at the furniture store?

Question

dont know what the answer is for the question

Answer 1

If the regular price is 3.5 times what he paid, and he paid $36, then:

regular price = 36 * 3.5

 

    36

 *3.5

-------

  180

1080

-------

1260

Since we have one decimal place in our multiplication, we move the decimal one place to the left in our solution:

126.0

So the chair's regular price is $126 dollars.
