Question

( PLEASE HELP ME ANY ANSWERS I WILL ACCEPT IT PLEASEEEE!!!!!) Marina wants to purchase a rosebush for d dollars at a garden store. She has a coupon good for $5 off her purchase, and the store is having a 10% off sale.

PART A
write two different, equivalent expressions for how much the rosebush will cost if the coupon is applied first and the 10% discount second.
PART B
write an expression for how much the rosebush will cost if the 10% discount is applied first and the coupon is applied second.
PART C
which order will save marina more money? explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Part A: 1. X=$5-10%x

2. $5-5%+5%

Part B: 90%-$5x

part c: Part B would save you more money, for example, if you were paying $25 then if you took off 10% of that that would equal $22.5. Then you subtract five dollars and the answer is 17.5 dollars, which if you do it the other way around it would equal $18.
