Question

Mrs. Barrera was buying a new winter coat. It cost $115. She has two coupons, the first is 20% off one item. The second is $25 off. Which coupon will save her more money?

Answer 1

The second coupon will save more money.

Explanation:

Below are the calculations:

First, find the 20% of the cost $115 and then compare with other value $25.

The 20% of the $115 = 20% x 115 = $23

Since the person has two coupons, one coupon benefits by $23 and second coupon benefit by $25. Therefore, second coupon will save more money.
