Question

The current value of a baseball card is 60 times its original value v (in dollars). The baseball card is worth $15. Write and solve an equation to find the original value of the baseball card. Equation: =15 Original value: $

Answer 1

0.25

Explanation:

From the information given, you can say that the current value of a baseball card is equal to 60 multiplied for its original value and the equation is:

c=60v, where: c is current value and v is original value

Now, you can replace the current value with 15 that is the value of the baseball card and solve for v:

15=60v

v=15/60=0.25

According to this, the original value of the baseball card is 0.25.
