Anna is able to buy 5 more articles for $300 after the price of each article decreased by 15%. What is the new selling price of each article?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
p = old price.
n = the number of items for $300 for p.
pn = (0.85p)(n + 5) --> n = 0.85(n + 5) --> n = 17.
New price = 300/(n + 5) = 13.6.
C.
