To find the original cost of the groceries Nick bought, we can set up the equation based on the information given:

Nick bought groceries for n dollars and had a coupon for $15.50 off, meaning he paid n15.50 dollars. We know that this amount equals $34.63 (the amount he actually paid).

Therefore, we can formulate the equation:

n15.50=34.63

Now, to find n, we can rearrange the equation:

n=34.63+15.50

Calculating that gives:

n=50.13

So the equation that represents the original cost of the groceries Nick bought is:

n15.50=34.63

And the original cost of the groceries Nick bought was $50.13.

Thus, the correct response is:

n − 15.50 = 34.63; the original cost of the groceries Nick bought was $50.13.
