Two stores sell the same refrigerator for the same original price. Store A advertises that the refrigerator is on sale for 15% off the original price. Store B advertises that it is reducing the refrigerator’s price by $150. When Stephanie compares the sale prices of the refrigerator in both stores, she concludes that the sale prices are equal.

Question

Let p represent the refrigerator’s original price.

Which equation models this situation?

Responses

0.15p=p−150
0.15 p equals p minus 150

0.15p=p+180
0.15 p equals p plus 180

0.85p=p−150
0.85 p equals p minus 150

0.85(p−150)=p

Answer 1

.85p = p - 150
