much was the original price of the computer?
Write and solve an equation


Sagot :

First you can add 50 dollars to 450 dollars which is 500 then divide that 500 by 2 and that is 250

Answer:

$450+$50= X

X=$500

Step-by-step explanation:

The sale price is $450.00, so you take that amount and $50.00 which the amount he paid less and add them both. We do this because we want to see the original price of the computer. If it mentioned the original price already and the amount $50.00 and asked the sail price instead, we would have to subtract to get the answer.

Here we have to add.

450+50=500

(add the dollar sign)

$450+$50=X

X=$500
