Question

Choose the correct box of the best buy available. a can of tomatoes for 53¢ one can of tomatoes with a 20% discount when the regular price is 70¢ per can

Answer 1

So, we have two options:
option 1: a can of tomatoes for 53 cents.
option 2: a can of tomatoes for 70 cents with a 20% discount.

First we have to determine the price of the 2nd option.
10 % of 70 cents is 7 cents
20 % of 70 cents is 14 cents.
So, we have 14 cents of discount, which makes the new price (70-14=) 56 cents.

Now our two options are either 53 or 56 cents.
Therefore option 1 is the best buy available.
