Question

8. Reid's Hardware discounts all riding lawnmowers 8% to customers paying in cash. If Trey paid $1,175.21 in cash for a riding lawnmower, which of the following equations can be used to determine the original price of the lawnmower?

(Let x represent the original price of the lawnmower and y represent the discounted price.)
y = 1.08x
y = 0.92x
y = x - 8x
y = 1.8x

Answer 1

if x is the original price then
0.08x is 8% of x
so
y = x - 0.08x
y = 0.92x
