Can someone explain how to do this step by step? and give the Formula

Two stores sell the same television for the same original price. Store A advertises that the television is on sale for 30% off the original price. Store B advertises that it is reducing the television's price by $250. When Allison compares the sale prices of the television in both stores, she concludes that the sale prices are equal.

Let p represent the television's original price.

Which equation models this situation?

0.3p = p + 250

0.7 (p-250) = p0.7 (p-250) = p

0.7p=p-2500.7p=p-250

0.3=p-250
