Answer:

$p - 150= p -0.15p$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Two stores sell the same refrigerator for the same original price

Let p be the original price

So,Store A advertises that the refrigerator is on sale for 15% off the original price

So, Price after off = $p - \frac{15}{100}p = p -0.15p$

Store B advertises that it is reducing the refrigerator’s price by $150

So, Price after off = $p - 150$

Now we are given that When Stephanie compares the sale prices of the refrigerator in both stores, she concludes that the sale prices are equal.

So, $p - 150= p -0.15p$

Hence equation models this situation is $p - 150= p -0.15p$
