Answer: A picnic table is on sale for 60 percent off. The original price of the picnic table is x, $144.10.


Explanation:

Given equation:
(x)(0.6)=\$86.46

To find x, divide 0.6 on both sides, we get


x=(\$86.46)/(0.6)\\\Rightarrow\ x=(\$864.6)/(6)\\\Rightarrow\ x=\$144.10

Also
0.6=0.6*100=60\%

Thus,
60\%\ of\ \$144.10=\$86.46

So the best scenario modeled by the above equation is

"A picnic table is on sale for 60 percent off. The original price of the picnic table is x, $144.10."
