Identify Cost and Discount: Identify the total cost Will paid and the discount per necktie. He bought 7 neckties, each at $8 less than the full price, and paid a total of $147.Set Up Equation: Set up the equation to find the full price (f) of one necktie. Let f be the full price of one necktie. The sale price of each necktie is then (f - 8). Since he bought 7 neckties, the equation is 7(f - 8) = 147.Check Equation Match: Check if the equation matches any of the given choices. The equation 7(f - 8) = 147 matches choice (B).
