Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x:

Let the cost of the laptop be x

First month = 1/3 x

Second month = 1/3 x - 125

third month = 525

Solve x:

1/3 x + 1/3 x - 125 + 525 = x

2/3 x + 400 = x

1/3 x = 400

x = 400 x 3

x = $1200

Answer: The laptop cost $1200

Answer 2

Answer:

$787.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 = $525

1/3 = 525÷2 = 262.5

1/3 = 262.5

3/3 = 1/3 x 3 = 787.5

total cost of laptop = $ 787.5.
