Question

Two stores sell the same refrigerator for the same original price. Store A advertises that the refrigerator is on sale for 15% off the original price. Store B advertises that it is reducing the refrigerator’s price by $150. When Stephanie compares the sale prices of the refrigerator in both stores, she concludes that the sale prices are equal. Let p represent the refrigerator’s original price. Which equation models this situation?

Answer 1

p-15%=p-150
is the equation for the quation

Answer 2

Answer:

Our required equation is : 0.85 p = p - 150

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the refrigerator’s original price.

Store A sells the refrigerator at 15% off on the original price.

⇒ Customer needs to pay 85% of the original price

⇒ Amount paid by customer at Store A = 0.85 p

Store B sells the refrigerator at $150 less price

⇒ Amount paid by customer at Store B = p - 150

Now, It is said that the amount paid at both the stores are equal.

So, our required equation is : 0.85 p = p - 150
