Answer:

Coupon B

Explanation:

Given

$Price = \$450$

$Coupon\ A = \$80$

$Coupon\ B = 20.5\%$

Required

Which coupon is better

From the question, we have:

$Coupon\ A = \$80$

$Coupon\ B = 20.5\%$

Coupon B means that:

$Coupon\ B = 20.5\% * \$450$

$Coupon\ B = 0.205 * \$450$

$Coupon\ B = \$92.25$

By comparison:

Coupon B gives him a better buy because:
$\$92.25 > \$80$
