Calvin wants to buy a car alarm that has a full price of $325, plus a 12% sales tax. Which is the better offer, a 35%-off sale or a $100 coupon?

The 30% off sale because after tax the price is 364 dollars. After a 35% discount it is 236.6. After a 100 dollar discount it is 264 dollars. So the 35 percent off sale is cheaper.
