If 150% of the cost is $4500 then the actual single cost amount is $3000.

one and one half = three halves
therefore, one third of 4500 is one half the original cost
one third of forty-five hundred = fifteen hundred
fifteen hundred = one half original cost
original cost = three thousand, 3000
CHECK
half of three thousand = 1500
one and one half = 3000 +1500 = 4500
Voila!

let x = the cost
let 1.5x=4500
x+1.5x=4500
2.5x=4500
x=1800

1x+1.5x=4500
2.5x=4500
