Question

Which is cheaper for a $65 item that costs $7.25 to ship? A 10% coupon off the cost of the item or free shipping

Answer 1

Free shipping

Explanation:

We must work out the price of an item including shipping with a 10% coupon and then the item with free shipping.

The item with shipping and a 10% coupon:

Applying the coupon:

`=65-65\cdot{0.1}=58.5`

adding shipping:

`58.5+7.25=65.75`

The price with free shipping is $65 and with shipping and 10% coupon $65.75.
