You can put this solution on YOUR website! Antoni, and Tom want to buy the same PS4 game. Antoni has 0.75 of the money needed to buy the game, and Tom has half of the money needed to buy the game. If the game was 15$ cheaper, then together they would have exactly enough money to buy two copies of the game. What is the original price of this game?
..
let x=original price of game
.75x+.50x=1.25x(amt of money Antonio and Tom had)
x-15=reduced price of game
1.25x=2(x-15)=2x-30
.75x=30
x=40
original price of game=$40
