The list price of a television set is t dollars.
Correct answer: C. Both are equal
- A. The quantity on the left is greater
- B. The quantity on the right is greater
- C. Both are equal
- D. The relationship cannot be determined without further information
Explanation
The original price of the television is represented by t dollars. When a 15% discount is given, the new price is calculated as 85% of the original price, which is 0.85t. This shows that both quantities are indeed equal, as they both represent the discounted price of the television. Option C correctly identifies this equality, while Options A and B are incorrect as they assume a calculation error. Option D is incorrect because the information provided is sufficient to determine the relationship between the quantities.
