Question

a new set of slalom water skis is priced at 314.10, which is 9/10ths of the original price. find the original price.

Answer 1

from the information given in the problem we obtain the following equation:

`(9)/(10)x=314.10`

where x is the original price, now we only need to solve the equation for x

`x=(10(314.10))/(9)=349`then the answer is that the original price of the slalom water skis is 349 dollars.
