Fast Bikes is selling the same mountain bike model for $559, and he can use a coupon for $100 off each bike. Which store offers the best price? How much money will Mr. Reed save by purchasing both bikes from that store? A) Fast Bikes; $7.75 B) Best Bikes; $7.75 C) Fast Bikes; $15.50 D) Best Bikes; $15.50

Answer 1

the answer is D

Explanation:

Best Bikes: $525 − $50 = $475

$475 − 0.05($475) = $475 − $23.75 = $451.25 per bike

Best Bikes' price for 2 bikes: 2($451.25) = $902.50

Fast Bikes: $559 − $100 = $459

Fast Bikes' price for 2 bikes: 2 x $459 = $918.00

Best Bikes offers the best price.

$918.00 − $902.50 = $15.50
