Question

Maplewood Furniture Store is having a sale on dining room furniture. When a customer purchases a set of dining chairs, a one-time discount of $55 is applied to the total. During the sale, Rhianna buys a set of 6 chairs that match the table she inherited from her grandmother. Rhianna pays $455 in all.
Which equation can you use to find the regular cost, c, of each chair?
What is the regular cost of each chair?

Answer 1

We can use the equation C - $55 = $455 to find the regular cost, c, of each chair.
To find the regular cost, we need to first solve for C.
C - $55 = $455
Adding $55 to both sides, we get:
C = $455 + $55 = $510
Therefore, the regular cost of each chair is $510.

Answer 2

what is the equation to the solution?

Answer 3

The equation to find the regular cost, c, of each chair is:

C - $55 = $455

where C is the total cost of the set of dining chairs.
