The current value of a baseball card is 80 times its original value vv (in dollars). The baseball card is worth $36. Write and solve an equation to find the original value of the baseball card.

Verified Answer :

36 / 80 = original value 
0.45

Let

v---------> the original value of the baseball card

we know that

\(36=80v\) ------> equation to find the original value of the baseball card

solve for v

Divide both sides by \(80\)

\(v=36/80\)

\(v=\$0.45\)

therefore

the answer is

the original value of the baseball card is \(\$0.45\)
