Dylan and Lucy each had a repair made on their cars. The initial cost of each repair is $1,000.

Dylan and Lucy each have two coupons. Each of them uses both of their coupons towards the cost
of the repair. One coupon is for $80 off the repair cost. The other coupon is for 15% off the repair
cost. Dylan and Lucy use their coupons in a different order, as shown below.
• Dylan uses the $80 off the repair cost coupon first. He then uses the 15% off the repair cost
coupon on the remaining balance.
• Lucy uses the 15% off the repair cost coupon first. She then uses the $80 off the repair cost
coupon on the remaining balance.

Who paid the least amount of money for their car repair and much less did they pay?Dylan and Lucy each had a repair made on their cars. The initial cost of each repair is $1,000.

I had a problem like this with different names so I thought I would just share. In your case, Omar is Dylan and Lucy is Caleb.
