Over the last year a furniture store has offered several incentives for customers to purchase a kitchen table. The original price of the table is $200.00. Which is the best deal for the table?
Question 2 options:
A coupon for 10% off the price of the table.
A rebate for $50.00 off the price of the table.
A sale for 20% off the table.
A sale for 15% off of the table plus a rebate of $30.00.
The best deal for the table would be the sale for 20% off the table.
Calculations:
- 10% off the price of the table: $200 - ($200 * 0.10) = $180.00
- $50.00 rebate off the price of the table: $200 - $50.00 = $150.00
- 20% off the table: $200 - ($200 * 0.20) = $160.00
- 15% off the table plus a rebate of $30.00: $200 - ($200 * 0.15) - $30.00 = $130.00
Therefore, the best deal is the 20% off the table for $160.00.
