Question

at the flea market, erin buys a phone that is 22% off and gloves that are reduced to $19.97. erin spends a total of $48.52. let g represent the cost of the phone. write an equation that correctly represents the cost of erin's shopping trip.

Answer 1

The cost of the phone: $28.55

The total price of the phone: $129.77

48.52 - 19.97 = 28.55

The phone was marked off by 22% so you divide by 22% to get the total cost of the phone, just incase you needed that.

Hope this helps <3

g is approximately $129.77

Explanation:

.22g+19.97=48.52
