\(4c=3x\)

 

\(\large x=\frac{4c}{3}\)

 

\(Ashley \ sold \ the \ 3 \ items \ at \ the \ price \ of \large \ x=\frac{4c}{3}\)

Let the price of each article sold =x. So, we have:

4nc =3nx, solve for c. Divide both sides by 4n

c =3nx / 4n

c =3/4x - amount she charged for each article purchased. Or,

x = 4/3c - amount she charged for each article sold.
