Question

» Jim would like to buy a chest of drawers with an original price of $83.00. Which coupon should he use?$40.00 Off any chest of drawersor45% Off

Answer 1

$40.00 Off any chest of drawers

Explanation:

The original price is $83, we apply the 45% coupon, if the discount is greater than $40 it is the one we must use, if it is less, we must use the coupon for any chest of drawers.

Therefore:

`\begin{gathered} d=83\cdot45\% \\ \\ d=83\cdot(45)/(100) \\ \\ d=\text{ \$}37.35 \end{gathered}`

The discount is equal to $37.35, therefore it is better to use the coupon for any chest of drawers since here you have a discount of $40

The correct answer is $40.00 Off any chest of drawers
