Question 306387: Can you please help me with this problem!!! Thank you
I often use rebates for items I purchase regularly. For example, recently a beauty company offered a $15 rebate when you purchase at least 3 items costing at least a total of $15 from their product line. The formula for determining the cost after the rebate is C = P – R. (Cost = Price – Rebate)
A. Please solve the above equation for the P.
B. If my cost is $8 after the rebate, then how much was my total price?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A)
C=P-R
C+R=P
B)
C=P-R
8=P-15
23=P
or
C+R=P
8+15=P
23=P
