Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
So, the format you should choose is the second one.
This is what goes in each box:
[4] (p - [6]) = [12]
The 4 is multiplying the price for 1 of the items (and it is 4 because there are 4 items), the 6 is taking away 6 dollars (because coupons take away money from amount) and 12 is the total amount of money.
Now, we solve for p.
Divide each side by 4.
p - 6 = 3
Now, add 6 to each side.
p = 9.
Each item cost 9 dollars.
