Question

Which is cheaper for a $56 item that cost $9.25 to ship. a 15% coupon off the cost of the item or free shipping?

Answer 1

Answer: Cost of item with free shipping is cheaper than 15% coupon off.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of item = $56

Amount for shipping = $9.25

Rate of coupon for off = 15%

Amount from coupon is given by

`(15)/(100)* 56\\\\=0.15* 56\\\\=\$8.4`

So, 8.4<9.25

amount they have to pay if there is free shipping is given by

`56-9.25\\\\=\$46.75`

Amount they have to pay if there is 15% off is given by

`56-8.4\\\\=\$47.60`

Hence, Cost of item with free shipping is cheaper than 15% coupon off.
