Question

Help Please?

Naveena used a five dollar coupon for dinner with her mother. She paid fifteen dollars and fifty cents after the coupon was applied. Which equation represents this problem? Let c represent the original cost of the dinner.

Answer 1

i think c minus five equals fifteen point five zero

Answer 2

"c" is the original cost of the dinner. So everything will be subtracted from the "c"

Then we subtract the coupon, and have the total

We now have c-5=15.50


If you wanted to find out the the original cost was, you would flip the problem around.
15.50+5=$20.50

The meal costed $20.50

Answer 3

Does that help at all?

Answer 4

Yes it helps (: thank you.
