The price of a television set also is 360 this is 2/3 of the regular price find the regular price

Answer 1

(2/3)p = 360

(3/2)(2/3)p = 360(3/2)

p = $540

Answer 2

Let X be the original price of the television. The sale price is two-thirds of the original price. Therefore, The sale price is $360. Therefore:

2⁄3 • X = $360

X = $360 / 2⁄3

To divide by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction, so:

X = $360 • 3⁄2 = $540

Therefore the original price of the television is $540.
