Mary has 2 coupon for a chair. Coupon A: 40% off of a $57 chair
Coupon B: $25 rebate on a $57 chair
Choose the coupon that gives the lower price
To determine which coupon gives the lower price, we need to calculate the final price using each coupon.
Coupon A gives a 40% discount on a $57 chair.
Discount = 40% of $57 = 0.40 * 57 = $<<40*.57=22.8>>22.8
Final price with coupon A = $57 - $22.8 = $34.2
Coupon B gives a $25 rebate on a $57 chair.
Final price with coupon B = $57 - $25 = $32
Therefore, coupon B gives a lower price compared to coupon A.
How much lower is coupon B
Coupon B gives a final price of $32, while coupon A gives a final price of $34.2.
To find out how much lower coupon B is, we subtract the price with coupon B from the price with coupon A:
$34.2 - $32 = $2.2
So, coupon B is $2.2 lower than coupon A.
To determine which coupon gives the lower price, we need to calculate the final price with each coupon.
Coupon A offers a 40% discount on a $57 chair.
The discount amount is 40% of $57, which is 0.4 x $57 = $22.80.
Subtracting the discount amount from the original price gives us $57 - $22.80 = $34.20.
Coupon B offers a $25 rebate on a $57 chair.
Subtracting the rebate amount from the original price gives us $57 - $25 = $32.
Comparing the final prices, we find that Coupon B gives the lower price of $32 compared to Coupon A's price of $34.20.
Therefore, Coupon B is the better choice for getting the lower price.
