    Answer: Hello there!

    The information that we have is:

    The price is 4/5 of the original price

    Lucinda uses a $50 gift certificate

    The cost is $222

    Now the cost before using the gift certificate is: $222 + $50 = $272

    And we know that $272 is the 4/5 of the original price, if X is the original price, we have:

    (4/5) * X = $272

    X = $272 * (5/4) = $340

    The original price of the patio furniture is 340 dollars.
