Question

A discounted concert ticket costs $14.50 less than the original price p. You pay $53 for a discounted ticket. Write an equation that can be used to find the original price.

Answer 1

Answer:

p - 14.5 = 53

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price is p.

The discounted price is $14.50 less than p, or $14.50 subtracted from p. The discounted price is p - 14.5.

The discounted price is $53

Equation:

p - 14.5 = 53
