Q. The cost of a sleeping bag has been discounted by $22, so that the sale price of the bag is 552 Find the onginat price of the sleeping bag. p, by solving the equation p−22=52.The original price of the sleeping bag was $□.
Identify Equation: Identify the equation that represents the situation.The equation given is p−22=52, where p represents the original price of the sleeping bag.
Add 22: Add 22 to both sides of the equation to solve for p.p−22+22=52+22This simplifies to p=74.
Check Solution: Check the solution by substituting the value of p back into the original equation.74−22=52This is a true statement, confirming that the solution is correct.
