Question

1. patricia owned so many posters that she decided to sell 77 of them to her friends . after selling the posters , she still has 186 left . write and solve an equation to find the number of posters p patricia had originally .

A. p+77 = 186 ; 109 posters
B. p + 186 = 77 ; 109 posters
C. p - 77 = 186 ; 263 posters
D. p + 186 = 77 ; 263 posters**

Answer 1

D is wrong. The answer is C. The number of posters is p, and she gives away 77 of them, meaning p - 77. If she has 186 left, that's the solution, but by solving it you get p = 263, therefore C is the correct answer. Hope this helps ^^
