Question

Mr. Brown needs to price items that must be sold within 90​ days, and he has two options. In option​ A, Mr. Brown prices items at​ $225 and gives​ $1.00 off the price each day that the item does not sell. In option​ B, he prices items at​ $250 and gives​ $2.00 of the price each day that the item does not sell Write and solve a system to determine when the two options yield the same price.

Answer 1

The two options yield the same price at 25 days.

Explanation:

With the information provided, you can say that the option A would be equal to option B, which would be:

225-1x=250-2x, where x is the number of days that the item does not sell

Now, you can solve for x:

-1x+2x=250-225

x=25

According to this, the answer is that the two options yield the same price at 25 days.
