Question 832679: what would be an equation for the following problem?
the Sale price is 16% off the original price.Use S for sale price and P for original price to represent S as a function of P. Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! S = .84P
Let's say the original price was $150
Multiply that by .84 (reciprocal of .16) = $126 sale price
.
We can check it by taking $150 and multiplying it by .16 to find the discount
$150 * .16 = $24
Price - Discount = sale price
$150 - $24 = $126
