Two stores sell the same refrigerator for the same original price. store a advertises that the refrigerator is on sale for 15% off the original price. store b advertises that it is reducing the refrigerator’s price by $150. when stephanie compares the sale prices of the refrigerator in both stores, she concludes that the sale prices are equal. what is the refrigerator’s original price? write and solve an equation.

Refrigerator’s original price = 1000 $

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of refrigerator be r.

Store A advertises that the refrigerator is on sale for 15% off the original price.

Store B advertises that it is reducing the refrigerator’s price by $150.

              Price of  refrigerator in store B =  r - 150

Stephanie compares the sale prices of the refrigerator in both stores, she concludes that the sale prices are equal

That is

             0.85r = r - 150

                   0.15r = 150

                         r = 1000$

Refrigerator’s original price = 1000 $
