Question

Coupon A:$18 rebate on a $95 bicycle couponB:15% off of a $95 bicycle

Answer 1

Coupon A gives the lower price,is $3.75 less than the price with coupon b

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

get the final price

a) Coupon A

$ 18 rebate on a $95 bycicle

so, the final price is

`\begin{gathered} \text{final price=original price-discoutn} \\ \text{ final price=\$95 -\$18} \\ \text{ final price(a)=\$77} \end{gathered}`

b) 15% off of a $95 bucycle

fint, the value for 15% of $95

`15\text{ percent=}\frac{\text{15}}{100}=0.15`

so, to know the value for 15% of $95,do:

`\text{discount}=0.15\cdot95=14.25`

the discount for coupon b is $14.25,

hence the final price is

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Final price=\$95 -\$14.25} \\ \text{ Final price=80.75} \end{gathered}`

Hence,

`\text{ Final price(B)=\$ 80.75}`

Step 2

compare the prices(difference)

`\begin{gathered} \text{Price(a)}=77 \\ \text{Price(b)}=80.75 \\ \text{pric e(b)-price(a)=80.75-77=3.75} \end{gathered}`

I hope this helps you
