Question

Sophie had two different coupons for the book store, 15% off coupon or the $2.50 off coupon. The store only allows you to use one coupon at time. The book she wanted was $12. Which is a better coupon for sophie to use and why

Answer 1

$2.50 coupon is better as it gives a cheaper sale price.

Explanation:

Price of good = $12

Sale price = price of good - coupon

Coupon 1 :

$2.50

Sale price = $12 - $2.50 = 9.50

Coupon 2:

15% off

Sale price =. (100 - 15)% * 12

= 0.85 * 12

= $10.2
