conversations.value: Explain how to solve this math problem: Solomon bought a dining table at a 10% discount and paid the sale price of $450. What was the original price of the dining table?
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: Since there was a 10% discount, this means that Solomon only paid 100% - 10% = 90% of the original price.
  The 90% is represented by $450, so 1% is equal to $450/90 = $5.
  Therefore, the original price of the dining table is $5 x 100 =$500.
