Yazmin noticed her favorite workout tops hereon sale for 6.00 off the original price.
She purchased 4 of the tops and spent a total of 51.80.
Write and solve an equation to determine x, the original price.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let x be the original price per one top.
Then the price after discount is (x-6), and the equation for the purchase is
4(x-6) = 51.80.
To solve, first divide both sides by 4
x - 6 = 51.80/4
x - 6 = 12.95
and find x
x = 12.95 + 6 = 18.95.
ANSWER. The original price is/was 18.95.
Solved, with explanations.
