Problem
A bicycle at Store P costs 
. The regular price of the same bicycle at Store Q is 
more than it is at Store P. The bicycle is on sale at Store Q for 
off of the regular price. What is the sale price of the bicycle at Store Q?
Solution

Since the bicycle costs 
at Store P and costs more at Store Q than it does at Store P, the regular price of the bicycle at Store Q is:
Next, the sales price is off this regular price at Store Q. We then have:
