Answer 1

Milan has two coupons for a jacket.

Coupon A:$16 rebate on a $55 jacket.

Coupon B:35% off of a $55 jacket.

Choose the coupon that gives the lower price.

Then fill in the blank with the correct value.

First case

Coupon A:$16 rebate on a $55 jacket.

the final price is ------> 55-16=$39

second case

Coupon B:35% off of a $55 jacket.

Remember that

100%-35%=65%=65/100=0.65

so

the final price is

0.65*55=$35.75

therefore

Coupon B gives the lower price.

The price with coupon B is $ less than the price with coupon A
