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 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 cast, c, of each chair?
A. 55c - 6 = 455
B. 6(c - 55) = 455
C. 6c - 55 = 455
D. 55(c - 6) = 455
5 answers
B. 6(c - 55) = 455
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. The correct equation would be:
D. 55(c - 6) = 455
This equation sets up the scenario where the discount of $55 is applied to each chair (c) in the set of 6 chairs, giving the total amount of $455 that Rhianna paid.
D. 55(c - 6) = 455
This equation sets up the scenario where the discount of $55 is applied to each chair (c) in the set of 6 chairs, giving the total amount of $455 that Rhianna paid.
wrongg
I apologize for the confusion. Let's re-analyze the situation.
1. The total cost Rhianna paid after the discount for a set of 6 chairs is $455.
Let c be the regular cost of each chair.
The total cost for 6 chairs before the discount would be 6c.
After the $55 discount is applied for each chair, the total cost Rhianna paid is $455.
Therefore, the equation we can use is:
6c - 55 = 455
So, the correct equation is:
C. 6c - 55 = 455
