Patty is ordering vests for her scout troop to wear in the Veterans Day parade. She ordered 12 vests from the Festive Features clothing shop. Since this was a bulk order, Festive Features reduced the price of each vest by $6. The total came to $132. Which equation can you use to find the amount, v, Festive Features normally charges for a vest?

Algebraic equations are equations that have coefficients and unknown variables in them.

The equation that you can use to find the amount "v" Festive features normally charges for a vest is: 12(v - 6) = 132

The current cost per vest was v - $6

Where v = Initial cost of the vest

The total cost of 12 vests after price reduction was:

$132.

Hence, our equation is given as:

$132 = 12(v - $6)

12(v - 6) = 132

$132 = 12v - 72

Add 72 to both sides

$132 + 72 = 12V

204 = 12v

v = 204/12

v = $17

Thus: The amount  v, Festive Features normally charges for a vest is $17

Therefore, the equation to find the amount Festive Features normally charges for a vest is 12(v - 6) = 132
