Ashley bought 4n articles for c cents each. When she sold 3n of the articles she noticed that she had recovered her initial investment. Express in terms of c the amount she charged for each article.
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.
