Let's assume the original price of the Keurig is "P" dollars and the amount Sydney saved by purchasing it on sale is "S" dollars. According to the sticker on the bottom of the box, we know that Sydney paid "P - S" dollars for the Keurig.
Now we can set up an equation to solve for "S":
P - S = amount Sydney paid
Let's say Sydney paid $100 for the Keurig. The equation would be:
P - S = 100
If you have the actual value of "P" (the original price of the Keurig), you can substitute it into the equation to find the amount Sydney saved.
) Sydney purchased a Keurig that had this sticker on the bottom of the box.
Use a verbal model to write and solve an equation to determine the
amount of money Sydney saved by purchasing the Keurig on sale.
