Question

Serena paid $194.99 for a game system and then bought two equally-priced games. She spent a total of $284.97.
Part A

If p represents the price of one game, which equation represents the situation?
2p – 284.97 = 194.99
2p + 194.99 = 284.97
2p + 284.97 = 194.99
2p – 194.99 = 284.97
Part B

What is the price, p, of one game?
