You can put this solution on YOUR website!
in reading the question you can see that the store is selling the item for 4/5 more than what they paid for the item, hence they make 4/5ths profit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since the total price is 1and 4/5 you can divide the sale price to find the price the store paid,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6.30/1.80= 3.50\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the store paid $3.50 for the item. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
