Answer:
the equation of the axis of symmetry is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the equation of the axis of symmetry for a parabola with vertical branches like this one, is an equation of a vertical line that passes through the very vertex of the parabola and divides it into its two symmetric branches. Such vertical line would have therefore an expression of the form:
, being that constant the very x-coordinate of the vertex.
So we use for that the fact that the x position of the vertex of a parabola of the general form:
, is given by:

which in our case becomes:

Then, the equation of the axis of symmetry for this parabola is:

Use this to solve:
4/5 = 16/x
Since these are equivalent fractions;
you can divide 16 by 4
then multiply by 5
that should give you the original price of the bean bag chair!
There are some errors in your table. Column 1, for example, should be all odd numbers. Columns should alternate even/odd.
It can be useful to build a spreadsheet that fills these numbers.
