Question

A furniture store offers two choices of discount on a sofa with a price of $1250. Which is

the better deal for the customer?

Choice A: 15% discount


Choice B: $200 rebate​

Answer 1

Explanation:

To compare which option is the better deal, we need to determine the final price of the sofa after applying each discount.

For Choice A, the price after the 15% discount is:

1250 - (0.15 x 1250) = 1250 - 187.50 = $1062.50

For Choice B, the price after the $200 rebate is:

1250 - 200 = $1050

Therefore, Choice B, with a $200 rebate, is the better deal for the customer as it results in a lower final price of $1050, compared to Choice A, which results in a final price of $1062.50 after the 15% discount.
