Answer: Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given formula is
[tex]a=m-n[/tex]
where,
a = actual cost of an item.
m = Original price
n = Amount of coupon
We need to solve the formula for the amount of the coupon (n).
In means, we need to isolate n in the given formula.
We have,
[tex]a=m-n[/tex]
Subtract m form both sides.
[tex]a-m=m-n-m[/tex]
[tex]a-m=-n[/tex]
Multiply both sides by -1.
[tex]-(a-m)=n[/tex]
[tex]-(a)-(-m)=n[/tex]
[tex]-a+m=n[/tex]
So, [tex]n=m-a[/tex].
Therefore, the correct option is B.
