Mrs. Lowry is ordering car decals for each family to put on their cars for the upcoming baseball season. She ordered 25 decals. She got a deal on them and they will be $2 cheaper for each decal. The total came to $250. Write an equation to find the amount, d, for the normal cost of each car decal without the deal.

What is the normal cost of each decal without the deal?

Respuesta :

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

The decals with the deal are 250.
They were $2 cheaper and Mrs Lowry had bought 25.
You would time 2 by 25 to get the money she didn't have to pay and then add it on to 250, leading to the final answer of 300.

Answer:

  • $12

----------------------

Let the cost of each car decal is d.

After applying a discount of $2 the total for 25 decals came to $250.

Set up an equation:

  • 25(d - 2) = 250

Solve it for d:

  • 25(d - 2) = 250
  • d - 2 = 250/25
  • d - 2 = 10
  • d = 10 + 2
  • d = 12

The normal cost of each decal is $12.
