12000 = 2x - 1500
12000 + 1500 = 2x
13500 = 2x
13500/2 = x
6750 = x <=== original price
The parabola opens towards left, this means the squared term is y with negative coefficient.
The vertex is given to be the point (-1,-3). So, the general equation of the parabola will be like:

where a is any constant.
In the given options, only 1 such equation is available and that is option C.
So the answer to this question is option C
The value of x is 15.
Solution:
Given ΔPQR
ΔUTV.
<em>If two triangles are similar, then the corresponding parts are congruent.</em>


Do cross multiplication, we get
⇒ 14(x - 3) = 8(x + 6)
⇒ 14x - 42 = 8x + 48
Add 42 on both sides.
⇒ 14x = 8x + 90
Subtract 8x on both sides.
⇒ 6x = 90
Divide by 6 on both sides.
⇒ x = 15
The value of x is 15.
I think it would be 1.5% but I'm not completely sure
