A movie theater sends out a coupon for ​15% off the price of a ticket. Write an equation for the​ situation, where y is the price of the ticket with the​ coupon, and x is the original price of the ticket. Use pencil and paper. The equation is y what (Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the​ expression).

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 0.85x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Coupon (c) = 15% off

x = original price of ticket

y = price of ticket with coupon

Price of ticket with coupon = (100 - c)% * original price)

y = (100 - 15)% * x

y = 85% * x

y = 0.85x
