Question

Mrs. Robinson bought a novel at a bookstore on sale for 20% off its regular price of $29.99. Mr Chang bought the same novel at a different bookstore for 10% off its regular price of $25. Which person received the better discount?

Answer 1

Mr. Chang

Explanation:

29.99 * .20= 5.998

29.99- 5.998 = she payed 23.99

25* .10= 2.50

25-2.50= he payed 22.50

Therefore he got the better deal
