Question

Which is a better deal?

75% off of a brand name mp3 player that costs $199
OR an off-brand mp3 player for $44.99

Answer 1

Off-brand mp3 for $44.99

Explanation:

Given;

75% off of a brand name mp3 player that costs $199 or an off-brand mp3 player for $44.99

Note;

off = discount = decrease

Solve;

Starting with brand name mp3

$199 x 75% = 149.25

199 - 149.25= 49.75

Now with off brand mp3

$44.99 x 75% = 33.7425

Round 33.7425 = 33.74

$44.99 - 33.74 = 11.25

49.75 > 11.25

Hence, we can see that off-brand mp3 player is a better deal.
