Recall that the y% of x can be computed using the following expression:


x*(y)/(100).

Therefore the 50% of $24 is:


24*(50)/(100).

Simplifying the above result we get:


24*0.5=12.

Now, notice that 12<15, therefore the coupon with $15 off any photo album is a better deal.

Answer: $15 off any photo album​
