Melissa bought a sweater on sale for $24.95. This is $8.04 less than the price that Christine paid for the same sweater when it was not on sale. How much did Christine pay for the sweater?
A. 24.95 + x = 8.04; $16.91
B. x – 24.95 = 8.04; $33.91
C. x + 8.04 = 24.95; $16.91
D. x – 8.04 = 24.95; $32.99
B. x – 24.95 = 8.04; $33.91
Wrong again!!!
clearly D !
original - discount = final
x - 8.04 = 24.95
x = 32.99
