For 9x + 25 = 88, Deena wrote the situation "I bought some shirts at the store for $9 each and received a $25 discount. My total bill was $88. How many shirts did I buy?"

A.) what mistake did Deena make?

B.) rewrite the equation to match Deena's situation.

C.) how could you rewrite the situation to make it fit the equation?

A. Deena did + 25 instead of - 25, since 88 is the bill and 9x was the original cost, minus the discount of 25.

B. 9X-25 = 88
