Question

The admission price to an art museum increased by $1.75 to $6.50. Let `p` be the original admission price. How do you write an equation to model the situation?

Answer 1

Model equation `n=p+i`

Explanation:

original admission price = p.
increase in admission price i = $1.75
Increased admission price n = $6.50
Model equation is `n = p + i`

Substituting in the above model equation,
`6.50=p+1.75`
`:.p=6.50-1.75=$4.75`
