Question

In the checkout line, a customer has two coupons for the same item. One is 13 off, and the other is 12 off. Which coupon will give the customer the biggest discount?

Answer 1

13 off is bigger

Explanation:

off means take off from price. a larger off means more is taken off from price. as 13>12, 13 off gives bigger discount

Answer 2

13 off

Explanation:

13 is a larger number than 12, so a discount of 13 is more discount than a discount of 12.

_____

If one is "dollars" and the other is "percent", then the relative value depends on the value of the item being purchased.
