Answer 1

Caleb paid $12 less

Explanation:

Omar

1. $80 off

• $1000 - $80 = $920

2. 15% off

• $920- 15% = $920 * 0.85 = $782

Omar paid for repair: $782

Caleb

1. 15% off

• $1000 - 15% = $1000*0.85 = $850

2. $80 off

• $850 - $80 = $770

Caleb paid for repair: $770

As per above:

• $782 - 770 = $12

Caleb paid $12 less than Omar for his car repair.
