(PLEASE HELP SOON) The ratio of the sale price of a textbook to the original price is 1:3. The original price is $81. What is the sale price?

Ratio = 1:3
or in other words = sale price:original price

Therefore, it'd look like this = sale price:$81
So to work out the original price, you'd do $81 divided by 3 (81 ÷ 3 = $27).

The sale price is $27..
