Question

An electronics superstore normally sells a new smartphone for $200, but it is currently offering a 50% discount off the price. The same phone is available online for $200; the website is offering 25% off the phone, plus another 25% discount off all purchases. Where should you buy the phone to get the better deal? Why?

Answer 1

the 50% off is the better deal

Explanation:

200 x .50= 100 so on the first phone you save $100

the website you get 25% off so .25 x 200=50 so 200 - 50 =150 then you get another 25% off .25 x 150 =37.50 so 150 - 37.50 = 112.50.
