1) The price of a dress is $89. Susan has a coupon for $50 off ger entire purchase and another coupon for 50% off one item. The store's policy does not allow for both coupons to be used at once. Which monetary incentive would give Susan a better buy. $50 off coupon is a better buy 50 of one item is a better buy.​

First coupon:

89 - 50 = $39 (discount price)

Second coupon:

50% = 0.5

89 * 0.5 = 44.5

89 - 44.5 = $44.5 (discount price)

39 < 44.5

Therefore, the better option is using the $50 off one item.

Best of Luck!
