Chapter 1.9, Problem 47MR

To determine

Find the cost of the camera at the photography store.

Answer to Problem 47MR

  $x=299÷\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

An electronics store sells a certain digital camera for $299. This is two − third of the price that a photography store charges.

Concept Used:

The cost of the camera at the electronic store is $\frac{2}{3}$ of the price at the photography store.

So the cost of the camera at the photographic store is the quotient of the price at the electronic store and $\frac{2}{3}$

Calculation:

Let the cost of the camera at the photography store is $ $x$ .

Equation: $x=299÷\frac{2}{3}$

Thus, the required equation is $x=299÷\frac{2}{3}$
