Answer 1

Jason received $2 more for his video game than Marc.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much more money Jason received than Marc, we need to calculate the amount of money each of them received for their video games.

Jason sold his game for 25% less than the original price of $40. To calculate the amount, we can multiply $40 by (100% - 25%), which is 0.75. So, Jason received $40 x 0.75 = $30 for his video game.

Marc sold his game for 30% less than the original price of $40. To calculate the amount, we can multiply $40 by (100% - 30%), which is 0.70. So, Marc received $40 x 0.70 = $28 for his video game.

To find out how much more money Jason received than Marc, we can subtract the amount Marc received from the amount Jason received, which is $30 - $28 = $2.
