Question

The original price of a coat is $45. Which coupon is a better deal? $20 off one purchase of $40 or more orTake 40% off any purchase

Answer 1

Given:

Original price of coat = $45

Coupon options:

• $20 off one purchase of $40 or more

,

• 40% off any purchase

Let's find the coupon which is a better deal.

We have the following:

• Coupon 1:

$20 off one purchase of $40 or more.

$45 - $20 = $25

Using this coupon, you will pay $25 for the coat

This coupon will help save $20

• Coupon 2:

40% off any purchase

`\begin{gathered} (40)/(100)*45 \\ \\ =0.40*45 \\ \\ =18 \end{gathered}`

Cost = $45 - $18 = $27

Using this coupon, you will pay $27 for the coat.

This coupon will save $18

Therefore, the better deal is the coupon with $20 off one ppurchase or more.
