If the cost of a particular computer program is 1/9 of the cost of a personal computer without the program and if the computer plus the program costs $810.00, how much does the program alone cost?
----------------------------
Let cost of personal computer be "x":
Then cost of a particular computer program is (1/9)x:
-----
Equation:
x + (1/9)x = 810
(10/9)x = 810
(1/9)x = 81
x = 729
Program alone cost is (1/9)*729 = $81
