Question

Which scenario is modeled by the equation (x)(0.6) = $86.46?

Answer 1

Answer: A picnic table is on sale for 60 percent off. The original price of the picnic table is x, $144.10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: $(x)(0.6)=\ 86.46$

To find x, divide 0.6 on both sides, we get

$x=\frac{\ 86.46}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{\ 864.6}{6}\\\Rightarrow\ x=\ 144.10$

Also $0.6=0.6\times100=60\%$

Thus, $60\%\ of\ \ 144.10=\ 86.46$

So the best scenario modeled by the above equation is

"A picnic table is on sale for 60 percent off. The original price of the picnic table is x, $144.10."
