Question

At Trendy Tailor Boutique's annual end-of-season sale, every necktie in the shop gets marked down. Will purchased 7 neckties during the sale. Each necktie cost $8 less than its full price. He paid a total of $147.
Which equation can you use to find f, the cost of each necktie at full price?

Answer 1

7(f - 8) = 147

(You can solve: f - 8 = 21, so f = 29.)
