Question

Ms. Banerjee bought a car for $22,500. The amount she paid for her new car was twice the amount she paid for her previous car, which she bought 8 years ago. Which equation shows p, the price in dollars that she paid for her previous car?

Answer 1

A

2p would be equal to the amount she paid for this car because the new car is double the price of her last car and p represents the price of the first car.

Answer 2

Well I can only tell you the answer for sure which is 11,250. But I am pretty sure that the equation is 22,500= 2p b. 2(22,500)=p c.22,500 =2p-8 d.2(22,500)= p-8
