Question

Another brand of sheets is on sale 30% off with a regular price of $18.00 per sheet. Which is a better deal, the previous example or this one? Explain

Answer 1

The previous example offers a better deal than the current example.

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparison of Deals

To determine which deal is better, let's compare the discounts obtained in both examples.

1. Previous Example:
2. Current Example:
   • Original price = $18 per sheet
   • Discount = 30%
   • Price after discount = $12.60 per sheet

By comparing the prices after discount, we can conclude that the previous example offers a better deal as the price per sheet is lower at $15, compared to $12.60 in the current example.

Answer 2

It would cost 12.60 dollars for the company in the problem. If you could send the other company's deal I could write the answer in the comments.

Step-by-step explanation:

100% - 30% = 70%

70% to demical = 0.7

So, I would do...

18 times 0.7 to get 12.6

The answer you get would be $12.6

The formula I used for this was...

( T ) * ( 1 - S ) = F

T is the Total cost

S is the amount of sale in percent to decimal form

F is the final amount

Hope this helps :)
