Question

You received a coupon in the mail for $15 off any pair of Vans so you decide to go shopping. When you walk into the store you find out that there is a sale and all shoes are 30% off! You find a pair of Vans that you love and they cost $55.

Do you use your $15 coupon or take the 30% discount? Which one is the better deal? Be sure to explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

The 30% off is a much better choice because 30% from 55 is $16.5 dollars which is much better than getting just $15 off

Answer 2

the 30% off is better because 30% of 55 is 16.5 and the coupon is for 15 so the 30% off is better.
