Question

Gavin is purchasing a new video game for $45. He has found a coupon for $5 off the game, and his mother gave him another coupon for 10% off. Which coupon should Gavin use to get the better deal?

Answer 1

The answer is the $5 coupon.
10% of $45 is $4.50

Answer 2

a coupon for five dollars would be the best

Step-by-step explain

.1 = ten percent so 45 multiplied by .1 is 4.5 so you take 4.5 off of 45 which is 40.5$ a coupon for 5 dollars off brings the 45 down to a 40 hence forth the five dollar coupon saves .50 cents
