Question

After the price of a CD player had been reduced to 1/4 of its original price, it was sold for $48. What was the original price?

Answer 1

I don't know...
sorry for you and for me

Answer 2

1/4 of its original price is 48...

1/4x = 48...with x being the original price
x = 48 / (1/4)
x = 48 * 4/1
x = 192 <== original price
