An equation is shown below. 0.25x = 137.5 Which situation is best represented by the equation? A Eddie's bill at a restaurant was $137.50 before the tip. What is the amount paid, x, after adding a 25% tip to the bill? B Oasis Computer Company was having a 25% off sale. Noel spent $137.50 before the discount. What is the amount of money spent, x, after a discount of 25%? C Texas Republic Clothing store was having a 25% off sale on purchases of $100 or more. Melanie saved $137.50 on her purchase. What is the amount of money spent, x, before the discount of 25%? D At a soccer game, about 25% of the people in attendance were cheering for the away team. What is the number of people, x, cheering for the away team?

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is best to evaluate each option.

A Eddie's bill at a restaurant was $ 137.50 before the tip. What is the amount paid, x, after adding a 25% tip to the bill?

Does not apply, because the value of x would be the original value added 25% of the purchase, which would be the tip.

 B Oasis Computer Company was having a 25% off sale. Noel spent $ 137.50 before the discount. What is the amount of money spent, x, after a discount of 25%?

It does not apply either, since the discount it receives is the final value, and this case shows that the discount is made on the money already spent that would be $ 137.50

In other words, what you don't say is that x = 25% * 137.5

C Texas Republic Clothing store was having a 25% off sale on purchases of $ 100 or more. Melanie saved $ 137.50 on her purchase. What is the amount of money spent, x, before the discount of 25%?

This is the situation that is best adapted because we can calculate the savings.

I mean, she saved $ 137.50

then x would have been the money spent without that discount. It fits the planned equation.

D At a soccer game, about 25% of the people in attendance were cheering for the away team. What is the number of people, x, cheering for the away team?

This case does not apply because they do not show the amount of 137.5, so it can be discarded.

The answer is C.

it is not that hard all u have to do is plot the graph
