Question

Bamey sells fruts and vegetables at an outdoor market stand. He pays $20 in rent per day for the stand, and he pays 8% of the total sales (x) lo an employee Barney and fus employee use the foflowing methods to figure out the amount, in dollars, Barney has left after paying for the rent and fis employee ke one day : Paen ador to estheta tars, ares the anyount put she wil receive, and then subtracts 20

Which equation correctly shows why both their methods produce the same result?
0A 0.922-20=2ー0.082-20
0.082- 20= 2- 0.922 - 20
0.08х - 20 = x - 0.08x - 20
D.
0.922-20=2－0.922-20

Answer 1

The correct equation is:

0.08x - 20 = x - 0.08x - 20

This equation shows that both methods produce the same result because they are essentially calculating the same thing - the amount that Barney has left after paying for rent and his employee. Both methods subtract the rent ($20) from the total sales (x) to find the amount left over.
