Answer:

  • Michelle
  • $5

Explanation:

The dollar value of the 20% coupon will increase if the discount is from a larger amount. Applying the $25 coupon first reduces the amount that the 20% applies to, so reduces the dollar value of the 20% coupon.

Michelle used the 20% coupon first, so its value was 20%($100) = $20.

Natasha used the $25 coupon first, so the value of the 20% coupon was ...

20%($100 -25) = 20%(%75) = $15.

Michelle paid $20 -15 = $5 less.
