Question

Chang has two coupons for. A printer coupon a has 14$ rebate on a 75$ printer

Coupon b has 15%off of a 75 $ printer choose the coupon that gives the lower prize

Answer 1

The coupon that gives $14 rebate off $75 gives a lower price

Explanation:

Let's figure out what percentage of $75 the $14 rebate coupon is

If this percentage is greater than 15% then the $14 rebate coupon gives a better discount; if not the 15% discount offers a better buy

To find what % $14 is of the $75 cost of printer, divide 14 by 75 and multiply by 100 to convert to %:

`(14)/(75) * 100 = 18.67\%\\\\`

Since 18.67% is greater than 15%, getting $14 off $75 will give a lower price
