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.
