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.

Let p represent the refrigerator’s original price.

Which equation models this situation?

0.85p=p−1500.85p=p−150

0.15p=p+1800.15p=p+180

0.85(p−150)=p0.85(p−150)=p

0.15p=p−150
