Laura has two coupons for a bicycle.
Coupon A:
35%
off of a
$97
bicycle
Coupon B:
$30
rebate on a
$97
bicycle
Choose the coupon that gives the lower price.
Then fill in the blank with the correct value.
Coupon A gives the lower price.
The price with coupon A is $ less than the price with coupon B.
Coupon B gives the lower price.
The price with coupon B is $less than the price with coupon A.
Coupon A gives the lower price.
The price with coupon A is $31.45 less than the price with coupon B. (Coupon A brings the price down to $63.55, while coupon B brings it down to $67)
To determine which coupon gives the lower price, let's compare the prices.
For coupon A, you get a 35% discount off a $97 bicycle. To find the price with coupon A, we calculate:
Discount amount = 35% x $97
Price with coupon A = $97 - Discount amount
For coupon B, you get a $30 rebate on a $97 bicycle. To find the price with coupon B, we calculate:
Price with coupon B = $97 - $30
Now let's compare the two prices:
Price with coupon A = _______ (calculate the value)
Price with coupon B = _______ (calculate the value)
After calculating the values, we can compare the two prices and determine which coupon gives the lower price.
