Question 1 • Algebra II

Iola has 75 dollars She buys a pair of shoes on sale for one-half off and a pair of socks for 6 dollars She has 32 dollars left. Which equation can be used to find x , the regular price of the shoes?

Answer
A
x plus 6 plus 32 is equal to 75
B
1 half x plus 32 is equal to 75
C
x plus 6 is equal to 32
D
1 half x plus 6 plus 32 is equal to 75

Explanation

A half-off sale means the shoes cost one-half of their regular price, or 1/2x. Iola’s money went toward the shoes, the $6 socks, and the $32 she has left, so 1/2x + 6 + 32 = 75. This is choice D.
