Question

The original price of a plane ticket was reduced by $150. if p=the ticket’s original price in dollars, which algebraic expression represents the reduced price?

Answer 1

Reduced price = $ ( p - 150)

Explanation:

Let the original price of plane ticket be $p

Price reduced in plane ticket = $150

So the amount actually need to pay for a plane ticket will be given by:

Actual reduced price of plane ticket = $p - $150

i.e Algebraic expression for reduced price is:

Reduced price = $ (p - 150)
