Maureen bought a coat. She was excited because it was on sale, so she paid $15.25 less than the original price. She paid $48.75

for the coat. Write and solve an equation to determine the original price. Let p represent the original price. It's getting cold outside!

Answer:

$33.50 for coat, 5.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

For the coat, since it was on sale, then it would be $48.75-$15.25=p=$33.50.

If the temperature drops 4 degrees every hour, if t dropped 22 degrees, then you would do 22 divided by 4, to find out how many hours it had dropped for. 22 divided by 4=h=5.5 or 5 1/2.
