The question asking for the linear equation Suzie manipulated. The answer should be equal to the starting equation. So, we just need to manipulate the option to y= mx + c format.
30% off 25: multiply 25 by .30 to find 30%: 7.5. Now subtract that from the sales price: 25-7.5=17.5 Do the same for store B: .40•30=12. 30-12=18. So store A is better by $.50 :) hope this helps :)
