Question

Nathan finds a backpack at kitt’s that is regularly $84.99,but is on sale for 1/3 off.the same backpack is regularly 72.99 at rec plus but is on sale for 25% off. Which is a better buy? Why?

Answer 1

The $72.99 backpack is a better choice to buy because
The $84.99 backpack for 1/3 off is approximately $28.3299 (about $28.33)
And the $72.99 backpack for 25% off is $18.2475 (about $18.25)
So since $18.25 < $28.33, the $72.99 backpack has a cheaper price.
