Question

Jaden sells a painting for 10 times the original price he sells a painting for $45.50 what was the original price of this painting

Answer 1

`x-\ original\ price\\\\ 10x=45,50\ \ \ \ | divide\ by\ 10\\\\ x=4,550\$\\\\ Original\ price\ is\ 4,550\$.`

Answer 2

The orginal problem was x times 10, so to find the original you'd have to do it backwards and divide by 10:

45.50/10 = 4.55$

Hope this helps!
