Question

Ok, my question is ‘ last year the price of a certian computer was 150$ more than it is now. This year's price is 3/4 of last year's price. How much does the computer cost this year?‘. Can someone explain to me how to create an equation for this?

Answer 1

current price ---- x
last year's price ---- x+150

x = (3/4)(x+150)

solve for x

Answer 2

Thanks, I was really confused with this problem for the last hour.
