Coupon A: $35 rebate on a $83 phone
Coupon B: 45% off of a $83 phone
Choose the coupon that gives the lower price.
Then fill in the blank with the correct value.

Answer 1

Coupon B

Explanation:

Coupon A: $35 rebate on $85 phone

:: 85 - 35 = $50 spent

Coupon B: 45% off $85 phone

:: 45% of 85 is $38.25 (saved)

:: so: 85 - 38.25 = $46.75 spent

Coupon B lets Omar save an extra $3.25.
