So here is my question-
The price of a computer fell 20% this year. If the computer now costs $900, how much did it cost last year?
What or how do you do this problem??

LET THE COST OF COMPUTER LAST YEAR BE 100X
THIS YEAR IT COSTS 80X
80X = 900 $
100X = ?
100/80 x 900 = 5/4 x 900 = 4500/4 = 1125 $ answer
