Question

Jacob and Mary each bought a new video game for $50. Jacob sold his game to the used game store for 25% less than the original price. Mary sold her game to the store for 30% less than the original price. Write how much more, in dollars, Jacob received for his video game than Mary received for her video game.

Answer 1

Jacob received $2.50 for his video game more than Mary's video game.

Explanation:

Jacob:

50 * 0.25= 12.50

50 - 12.5 = $37.50

Mary:

50 * 0.3 = 15

50 - 15 = $35.00
