Answer:

70% off

Explanation:

Calculate both these deals, then figure out which costs less.

1. 70% off

  • (70% = .70)
  • 70% of 998.97 = .70 * 998.97 = $699.279 is the discount
  • Subtract this from 998.97: 998.97 - 699.279 = $299.691

2. $650 off

  • Subtract 650 from 998.97: 998.97 - 650 = $348.97

This makes sense, because 650 is 65% of the original cost, which is less than 70%!
