Question

Two stores sell the same refrigerator for the same original price. Store A advertises that the refrigerator is on sale for 15% off the original price. Store B advertises that it is reducing the refrigerator’s price by $150. When Stephanie compares the sale prices of the refrigerator in both stores, she concludes that the sale prices are equal.

Which equation models this situation?

Let p represent the refrigerator’s original price.

A.
0.85p = p – 150

B.
0.85(p – 150) = p

C.
0.15p = p − 150

D.
0.15p = p + 180

Answer 1

looks like C

Answer 2

that is 15/100=0.15 which is 15% of P... P=price and is the same as P-150

Answer 3

so you would be taking A PRICE, which is (p) and then,

15% OF (p) = (p) minus $150 price reduction

Answer 4

Both are correct.

Answer 5

If you do the equation right, you will end up with C.. like he said :)
