Problem 12 how do u do this

Answer 1

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

Let's take this problem step-by-step:

Let's set up some equations based on the information given:

• You purchased a desk for 60% of the original price, p

            $\hookrightarrow \text{60 percent of p} = \frac{60}{100} *p=0.6p$

• The price that you paid is $32 less than your paid is:

            $\hookrightarrow \text{'32 less than p'} = p-32$

Therefore:

    $\hookrightarrow \text{You paid '0.6p' or 'p - 32'}$

                 $\hookrightarrow \text{The equation is } '0.6p = p-32'$

                                  $0.6p=p-32\\p-0.6p=32\\0.4p=32\\p = 80$

Answer:

• Equation: 0.6p = p - 32
• Original Price of desk: $80

Hope that helps!
