Question

Two stores sell the same computer for the same original price. Store A advertises that the computer is on sale for 25% off the original price. Store B advertises that it is reducing the computer’s price by $180. When Brittany compares the sale prices of the computer in both stores, she concludes that the sale prices are equal.

Which equation models this situation?

Let p represent the computer’s original price.

A.
0.25p = p – 180

B.
0.75p = p + 180

C.
0.25(p – 180) = p

D.
0.75p = p − 180

Answer 3

Answer 4

xD yeah. good luck

Answer 5

12 times Caleb plus 10

Answer 6

Since weʻre looking for the amount Sergio lifted, we have to find the pounds. It says that The boxes that Sergio lifted each weighed 10 lb more than the boxes Caleb lifted.

So we know that part of our equations will have

c + 10

c standing for Caleb.

This is to show the amount of pounds each box was. Now we just multiply c + 10 by the number of boxes Sergio lifted, which is 12. Can you tell me the answer now?

Answer 7

Answer 10

Did u get it?

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

its confusing me

Answer 13

i got 120

Answer 14

c + 10 is the amount of pounds in Sergioʻs boxes.

12 is the amount of boxes Sergio lifted.

I got c + 10 from what they said here ---> "The boxes that Sergio lifted each weighed 10 lb more than the boxes Caleb lifted."

So Iʻm basically saying

The weight of Calebʻs boxes in pounds + 10 more pounds

That is the weight of Sergioʻs boxes

Then we multiply that by 12, because Sergio lifted 12 of his boxes.
