Answer 2

Given:

• A game decreased in price by ⅓.
• After the reduction it was priced at £ 18.

To Find:

• What was the original price of the game?

Solution:

• Let the original price of the game be y.

According to the question,

↦ $\frac{1}{3}$ × y = 18

↦ $\frac{1}{3}$ × $\frac{y}{1}$ = 18

↦ $\frac{y}{3}$ = 18

By doing cross multiplication we get,

↦ y = 3 (18)

↦ y = 3 × 18

↦ y = 54

∴ The original price of the game was £ 54.
