Question

6. A war veteran and a senior citizen are each buying the same model of vacuum cleaner for $115. They are each going to use their coupons, which say respectively "Veterans receive 20% off all store items!" and “Senior discount $50!". Who gets the better deal?

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Vacuum cleaner = $15

Coupon discount [For Veterans]= 20%

Seniors discount = $50

To compare both we can do:

Veterans---> $115 * 0.80 = $92

Seniors-----> $115 -50 = $65

Answer: Seniors get the better deal.
