Henry bought a CD on sale for one third off. The CD cost Henry $9.90. What was the original price of the CD?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7th grade math. Must find the variable, v. Write the expression using decimals not fractions. Solve showing all steps.

With \"1%2F3\" off, he paid \"2%2F3\" of original price
\n" ); document.write( "Let original price be U
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F3\" of original price represents $9.90, so we can say that:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2F3%29%2F1+=+9.9%2FU\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2U%2F3+=+9.9\" ------ Cross-multiplying
\n" ); document.write( "2U = 3(9.9) ---- Cross-multiplying
\n" ); document.write( "U, or original price = \"3%289.9%29%2F2\" = \"highlight_green%28%22%24%2214.85%29\" \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
