What two different stores offer a sale on the same item, but one offers a coupon savings and the other offers a percentage-off discount? How can you tell which offer is better?

Answer:

Personally, I think it depends on the amount of the product you’re buying. If the product is expensive, you should go the store with a percentage-off discount. If the product is not expensive, you should go to the store with coupon savings.

Explanation:

For example, if you’re buying a $5 toy with a $1 coupon and 10% off, you should chose the coupon. Because if you chose the discount, it doesn’t change a lot of things. However, if you’re buying a million dollar airplane(just kidding), then you should definitely chose the discount. Because a million dollar minus 1 changes nothing. But a 10% discount can decrease the cost by 1 hundred thousand! Isn’t that surprising? Hope you understand it.
