b.15-p=49

d.p-15=49

Answer 1

The mathematical sentence that expresses the information given in the question is:

d. p - 15 = 49

Explanation:

i

n this equation, "p" represents the original price of the skateboard. The question states that the original price was reduced by $15, so we subtract 15 from "p" to get the new price. The new price is given as $49, so the equation becomes p - 15 = 49.

To solve for "p", we can isolate it on one side of the equation by adding 15 to both sides. This gives us:

p - 15 + 15 = 49 + 15

The -15 and +15 cancel out on the left side, leaving us with:

p = 49 + 15

Simplifying the right side gives us:

p = 64

Therefore, the original price of the skateboard was $64.

Answer 2

d. p - 15 = 49

Explanation:

p = original price

The price was reduced by 15 dollars.

The new price is p - 15.

The new price is 49.

p - 15 = 49

Answer: d. p - 15 = 49
