Question

Mrs. Lowry is ordering car decals for each family to put on their cars for the upcoming baseball season. She ordered 25 decals. She got a deal on them and they will be $2 cheaper for each decal. The total came to $250. Write an equation to find the amount, d, for the normal cost of each car decal without the deal.

What is the normal cost of each decal without the deal?

Answer 1

• $12

----------------------

Let the cost of each car decal is d.

After applying a discount of $2 the total for 25 decals came to $250.

Set up an equation:

• 25(d - 2) = 250

Solve it for d:

• 25(d - 2) = 250
• d - 2 = 250/25
• d - 2 = 10
• d = 10 + 2
• d = 12

The normal cost of each decal is $12.
