Question

The newest pair of AirPods have just dropped. They are $249. You have a coupon for 20% or a coupon for $45 off. You can only use one coupon which do you use?

Answer 1

Use the coupon that says 20% off.

Explanation:

To find the greater deal, you're going to want to multiply 249 by .20 (since 20% as a decimal is .20) and you'll get $49.80. If you just took $45 off of 249, you'd still have to pay $204. Therefore, 20% off is a better deal.
