A take-and-bake pizza chain has several

coupons, which cannot be used together.
J.D. is buying a pizza that costs $17.90.
Should he use a $5 off coupon or a 35% off
coupon? (Example 2)

Answer: 35% off coupon

Explanation:
17.90-5= 12.90

x/17.90=35/100
Cross multiply: 17.90(35)=100x
Simplify: 626.50=100x
Divide by 100: 6.265
Round: 6.27
Subtract: 17.90-6.27=11.63
