The final price that Mrs. Diaz has to pay for the whiteboard
From Office Supply, Mrs. Diaz can buy the whiteboard for $49.99 with a 15% teacher discount.
The discount amount is 15/100 * $49.99 = $7.50.
So, the final price after the discount is $49.99 - $7.50 = $42.49.
From Office Wholesale, Mrs. Diaz can buy the whiteboard for $47.99 with a $10 rebate.
So, the final price after the rebate is $47.99 - $10 = $37.99.
Therefore, Mrs. Diaz has to pay the better price, which is $37.99.
