Answer 1

Hey there!

The answer to your question is D.) After coupons, the game is $2.25 cheaper at Techno Hut

First, we will solve for the price of Techno Hut's game. Let's find the amount of the discount:

0.10 x 40

4

Then, we take the discount off the price:

40 - 4 = 36

The price of the game at Techno Hut is $36

Next, we find the price of the game at Gamer World. Let's find the amount of the discount:

0.15 x 45

6.75

Then, we take the discount off the price:

45 - 6.75 = 38.25

The price of the game at Gamer World is 38.25

Therefore, Techno Hut is cheaper.

Hope it helps! Good luck and have a great day!
