Mr. Kory owns a corn dog stand. In August, he lowered the price of his corn dogs by 10%. As a result, he sold 25% more corn dogs in August than he sold in July. If he sold 1,500 corn dogs in July at a price of $1 each, which equation could be used to determine s, the total amount of money from corn dog sales in August?

F s = 0.10 x 1 x 0.25 x 1500
G s = 1.10[1500 + 0.25(1500)]
H s = 0.9[1500 + 0.25(1500)]
J s = 0.9(1500 x 0.25)

Answer:

  • H s = 0.9[1500 + 0.25(1500)]

Explanation:

  • Cost = $1
  • Sold in August = 1500
  • Discount = 10%
  • Increase in sale = 25%

The equation to reflect the change:

  • (1 - 10%)*(1500 + 25%) =
  • 0.9*1500*1.25

Correct one is H s
