Identify Key Information:  Identify the key information from the problem statement. Mr. Mosley ordered 12 pizzas and each was discounted by $2. The total cost was $192. Set Up Equation:  Set up an equation to represent the situation. Let p be the original price of one pizza. The discounted price per pizza is p - 2. Since 12 pizzas were ordered, the equation is 12(p - 2) = 192. Check Equation Match:  Check if the equation matches any of the given choices. The equation 12(p - 2) = 192 matches choice (A).
