Answer: Assuming you mean that the original cost was doubled and now equals $60, the camera costed $30. Assuming the camera's price has been doubled from $60, it is $120. The wording is a bit unclear, so I'm giving you both answers.

Step-by-step explanation: To find half of the price of $60, simply divide it by 2, which gives you $30.
