Question

Two stores sell the same television for the same original price. Store A advertises that the television is on sale for 30% off the original price. Store B advertises that it is reducing the television’s price by $250. When Allison compares the sale prices of the television in both stores, she concludes that the sale prices are equal.

Which equation models this situation?

Let p represent the television’s original price.

A.
0.3p = p – 250

B.
0.7p = p – 250

C.
0.3p = p + 250

D.
0.7(p – 250) = p
