Answer:
[tex]22500=2p[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :Ms. Banerjee bought a car for $22,500. The amount she paid for her new car was twice the amount she paid for her previous car, which she bought 8 years ago.
To Find: Which equation shows p, the price in dollars that she paid for her previous car?
Solution :
Her new car cost is $225000
let her old car cost be p.
Since we are given that The amount she paid for her new car was twice the amount she paid for her previous car
⇒[tex]22500=2p[/tex]
Hence the required equation is [tex]22500=2p[/tex]
The cost of old car = 22500/2 = $11250
The equation is 2p = 22500
Data;
- price of new car = $22,500
- price of old car = p
To solve this question, we need to write an equation for this.
What is Equation
This is a mathematical statement used to express a word problem.
NB; The number of years she bought the car does not matter since we are only comparing the price of both cars here.
Assuming the price of the old car is given as p
[tex]2p=22500[/tex]
we can further solve this to determine the actual price of the old car.
[tex]2p=22500\\2p/2=22500/2\\p=11250[/tex]
From the calculation above, the equation showing how much she bought the old car is 2p = 22500 and the price of the old car is $11250.
