Question 970698
Let {{{ p }}} = the price of the desktop
She has saved {{{ (1/6)*p }}}
I can say:
{{{ p = (1/6)*p + 600 }}}
Multiply both sides by {{{ 6 }}}
{{{ 6p = p + 3600 }}}
{{{ 5p = 3600 }}}
{{{ p = 720 }}}
The price of the desktop was {{{ $720 }}}
-----------------
check:
{{{ p = (1/6)*p + 600 }}}
{{{ 720 = (1/6)*720 + 600 }}}
{{{ 720 = 120 + 600 }}}
{{{ 720 = 720 }}}
OK
