Ms. Snyder wants to buy a television at an electronics store. All televisions at the store
are
3
4
of the original price, p . She has a $40 discount coupon she will use during the
sale. Which equation should Ms. Snyder use to find the final price, f , of a television?
To find the final price of a television after the discount and the reduced price, Ms. Snyder can use the equation:
f = (p - (0.34 * p)) - 40
Let's break down this equation:
1. The original price of the television is represented by "p".
2. Since all televisions at the store are 34% (0.34) off the original price, we can calculate the reduced price by multiplying the original price by 0.34: 0.34 * p.
3. To find the final price after this discount, we subtract the reduced price from the original price: p - (0.34 * p).
4. Finally, Ms. Snyder has a $40 discount coupon, so we subtract this amount from the final price: (p - (0.34 * p)) - 40.
By applying this equation, Ms. Snyder can calculate the final price of the television after the discount and coupon.
After the store discount, she pays:
f=(3/4)p...
Since she has a coupon, she pays $40 less. Therefore she subtracts $40 from the store discounted price.
