so (1/4)x = 87
x = 348
x = 348
Let's assume the sale price of the stove is represented by the variable "x".
If 1/4 of the sale price is equivalent to the discount amount of $87, we can set up the following equation:
1/4 * x = $87
To solve for "x," we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4 since the reciprocal of 1/4 is 4:
4 * (1/4 * x) = 4 * $87
Simplifying the equation:
x = $348
Therefore, the sale price of the stove was $348.
