Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A game decreased in price by 1/3.

After the reduction it was priced at £ 18.

To Find:

What was the original price of the game?

Let us suppose:

The original price of the game be x.

Finding the original price of the game:

According to the question.

⟶ 1/3 of x = 18

⟶ x/3 = 18

⟶ x/3 = 18/1

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.
