Question

Please help asap my mom and dad will kill me if i don't have this practice exam done. Liz wanted to buy a new book. When she checked the price last week, it was $16. This week, the same book was listed for $20. Write and solve an equation to show how much the book increased in price.

20 = p − 16; p = $36
20 = p + 16; p = $4
16 + p = 36; p = $20
2p = 20; p = $10

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Since the price goes up by whatever number it eventually become 20$ from 16$. SO subtract to get number. 20-16= 4 $

So fitting best...: 20$=p+16;p=4$= TRUE

Answer:20$=p+16;p=4$ or Choice C
