Then fill in the blank with the correct value. Coupon A gives the lower price. The price with coupon A is___ $ less than the price with coupon B. Coupon B gives the lower price. The price with coupon B is ___ $ less than the price with coupon A. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Coupon A is less than B with a difference of $3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Coupon A: 35% of 97 33.95 and since it is a discount, you take the 35% off the 97 which is 97-33.95=63.05

Coupon B: you have 30 discount, so you just take the 30 off 97, which is 97-30=67

Coupon B has a higher price. to get the difference, you take 63.05 off 67, so 67-63.05=3.95
