We use arithmetic reasoning:
Step 1
We knew that 1 and 1/2 is equivalent to 3/2
Step 2
1 is 2/3 time less than 3/2 so we can write :
2/3 X $4500 = $9000/3 = $3000
Final answer: $3000

$3000. You have 3 halves. 4500 divided by 3 gets 1500, for one half, and that times 2 is $3000, for a whole.

let x be the price for 1, therefore we know that
1.5x = 4500
x = 4500/1.5
x = 3000

1.5x=$4500 (Solve for X)
x=$4500/1.5
x=$3000

x represents the price for one and the problem should be set up like this:
1.5x=4,500
x=$3,000
Check:
1.5(3,000)=4,500
4,500=4,500

Let x = the price of one item.
1.5x = $4,500.00 (Divide both sides by 1.5)
x = $3,000.00
