Mrs. Tout and Mrs. Edgar are doing some online shopping and decide to buy the same pair of shoes for $65. Mrs. Tout has a coupon for ¼ off the price and Mrs. Edgar has a coupon for 30% off. Who is going to save more money? Show your work.

Answer 1

Mrs. Edgar will save more money

Explanation:

65 x .25=16.25

65-16.25=48.75

Mrs. Tout pays 48.75

65 x .30 = 19.50

65-19.50= 45.50

Mrs. Edgar pays 45.50
