Question

Answer 1

Jenna bought a coat on sale for $120

The price of the coat is the 2/3of the original price

Let the original price is $x

So, the equation will be :

2/3 of x =120

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)\text{ of x=120} \\ (2)/(3)* x=120 \\ x=120*(3)/(2) \\ x=60*3 \\ x=180\text{ dollars} \end{gathered}`

So, The original price of the coat is $180
