Respuesta :

The financing plan is

50 dollars upfront

rest of the remaining money in 12 equal installments

Let "p" be price of couch.

50 given upfront, so remaining "p - 50". This is evenly split into 12 months.

"q" is:

[tex]q=\frac{p-50}{12}[/tex]

This is the relationshp between "q" and "p".

Let's analyze the choices.

First Choice:

THis is exactly what we got. So this is right relationship shown.

Second Choice:

Let's solve for p:

[tex]\begin{gathered} q=\frac{p-50}{12} \\ p-50=12q \\ p=12q+50 \end{gathered}[/tex]

This is second choice. So, it's right.

Third Choice:

The 2nd last line while solving for p is this choice. Thus, third choice is right.

Fourth Choice:

This doesn't give the relationship between p and q properly. It is wrong.

Correct Answer:

12( q + 50 ) = p
