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 $38.25, which is less than the price with coupon A.
To determine which coupon gives the lower price, we compare the discounts offered by both coupons.
Coupon A offers a $4 rebate on a $45 chair, which means the final price with Coupon A will be $45 - $4 = $41.
Coupon B offers a 15% off on a $45 chair, which means the discount amount will be 15% of $45 = $6.75. Therefore, the final price with Coupon B will be $45 - $6.75 = $38.25.
Therefore, Coupon B gives the lower price.
Hence, the price with Coupon A is $less than the price with Coupon B. (The actual value is $41.)
