Answer :

Answer:

$640

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] equal the original price of the machine.

We know that $64 is 10% of [tex]x[/tex] because $64 is left of [tex]x[/tex] after the 90% reduction.

Set up an equation:

[tex].10x=64[/tex]

Divide by the coefficient of [tex]x[/tex], which in this case is [tex].10[/tex]

[tex]x=640[/tex]
