so p - $250 = $1499 and to solve add 250 to 1499 then you will get your answer

Answer 2

Explanation:

The original price of a computer was reduced by $250.

The new discounted price of the computer = $1499

Let the computer's original price = p

The expression that gives information of the original price would be

p - 250 = 1499

p = 1499 + 250

p = $1749

The computer's original price was $1749.
