Question

Two stores sell the same television for the same original price. Store A advertises that the television is on sale for 30% off the original price. Store B advertises that it is reducing the television’s price by $250. When Allison compares the sale prices of the television in both stores, she concludes that the sale prices are equal. Let p represent the television’s original price. Which equation models this situation? 0.7(p−250)=p 0.3=p−250 0.7p=p−250 0.3p = p + 250

Answer 1

Answer:

Musiclover10045 is correct! I took the test and the correct answer is in fact:

0.7p = p - 250!

Thanks, mate!

Cheers!

Answer 2

30% off so sale price is 70%

 so 0.7p = p-250
