Henry wants to buy a new table saw for his carpentry shop. he has saved $360 which is 2/3 of the price of the saw. how much does the saw cost

If 360 is 2/3 of the full price on a saw then your equation should look like this:

x is your unknown full price of the saw. Just solve for x now.

This means that the full price is $540.

Hope this helps!

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
