Answer 1

Answer:

p - 15 = $49, $64.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of skateboard was reduced by $15.

The new price is $49.

p - 15 = $49

p = 49 + 15

p = $64

The original price was $64.

Answer 2

So p - $15 = $49 and to solve it subtract 15 from 49 and then you will get your answer
