Question

Mark needs to buy 5 pizzas for a party. He knows that a large pizza cost $8.00 from both Pizza Palace and from Jack's Pizza, but he got some coupons in the mail. At Pizza Palace you get $10.00 when you buy 5 or more pizzas and at Jack's Pizza you get 30% off when you buy 5 or more pizzas. Which coupon gives Mark the better deal? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Jack's Pizza is the better deal

Explanation:

For Pizza Palace, we know that Mark will spend $40, minus the $10, so that's $30.

For Jack's Pizza, Mark pays 40 dollars, minus 30%, which is 12 dollars off

This means that Mark will only spend 28$ buying the pizzas at Jack's Pizza
