Question

shopping online, you find a skateboard that costs $124.99, which is $42.50 less than the price at a local store. Write and solve an equation to find the local price

Answer 1

x - $42.50 = $124.99

Cost at local store = 167.49

Explanation:

The cost of skateboard on shopping online = $124.99.

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

Let the price of skateboard at a local store = x

As per the statement "the costs $124.99 which is $42.50 less than the price at a local store" the equation will be

x - $42.50 = $124.99

Now solve the equation and find the value of x

x - 42.50 = 124.99

x = 124.99 + 42.50

x = $167.49

The cost at the local store would be $167.49

Answer 2

Let

x-------> the price of the skateboard at a local store

we know that

x-$42.50=$124.99

solve for x

Adds 42.50 both sides

x-42.50+42.50=124.99+42.50

x=$167.49

therefore

the answer is

The price at local store is $167.49
