the equation you would use is 124.99+42.50=X

X =167.49

Answer 2

The required equation is x - $42.50 = $124.99 and the cost at local store is $167.49

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the cost of skateboard is $124.99.

Which is $42.50 less than the price at a local store.

Let x represents the price of skateboard at a local store.

According to the question, the online costs $124.99 which is $42.50 less than the price at a local store".

Thus the equation will be:

`x -42.50 = 124.99`

Now solve the equation for x.

`x -42.50 = 124.99`

`x = 124.99 + 42.50`

`x = 167.49`

Hence, the cost at the local store would be $167.49
