Question

Chad would like to buy a wooden toy chest with an original price of $50. Which coupon should he use? Take 40% Off any purchase or $25 off any toy chest

Answer 1

$25 off any toy chest​

Explanation:

The original price of the toy = $50

First, we determine the sales price using the two coupons below:

Coupon 1: Take 40% off any purchase

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Sales Price}=50-(40\%\text{ of \$50\rparen} \\ =50-(0.4*50) \\ =50-20 \\ =\$30 \end{gathered}`

Coupon 2: $25 off any toy chest​

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Sales Price}=50-25 \\ =\$25 \end{gathered}`

The sales price for the second coupon is lower.

Thus, Chad should use the coupon that offers "$25 off any toy chest​".
