Question

The original price of a mountain bike was reduced by $125. If p = the mountain bike's original price in dollars, which algebraic expression represents the reduced price?

Answer 1

Let the original price of the bike be x
Therefore,
x= p - $125

Answer 2

`r = p-125`

Where p = the mountain bike's original price in dollars

r is the reduced amount in dollars

Explanation:

Given : The original price of a mountain bike was reduced by $125.

To Find: If p = the mountain bike's original price in dollars, which algebraic expression represents the reduced price?

Solution:

Let the original price be p

Let the reduced price be r

Now we are given that The original price of a mountain bike was reduced by $125.

So, the reduced amount = Original price - 125

So, equation becomes :
`r = p-125`
