Select All That Apply Walter is buying a new chess set. The original price of the set is $35, and Walter has a coupon for 12% off the original price. Walter wants to know the price after he uses the coupon. Select the equations Walter can use, and determine the final price of the chess set. Select all that apply. Walter has to pay $ for the chess set after using the coupon.

SOLUTION Grade 7

There are four quantities in this solution Original price $35 Original percent 100% Price after the coupon x dollars Percent paid after the coupon 88%

x is 88% of the original price, and $35 is 100% of the original price. These ratios are equal to each other, so we can write the equation below.

We can also say that the ratio of x to $35 is equal to the ratio of 88% to 100%.

This equation is not true.

This equation is not true.

To find the price with the coupon, we need to solve one of the correct equations for x. Let's pick one of the equations. We can solve this for x by multiplying both sides by 88%.
