Trevion received the better one because he got it for 30.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price of cap bought by James = 38.99

Sale = 20% off

Amount of discount = $\frac{20}{100}*38.99=\frac{779.8}{100}$

Amount of discount = 7.80

Purchase price = Original price - Amount of discount

Purchase price = 38.99 - 7.80 = 31.19

Original price of cap bought by trevion

Sale = 10% off

Amount of discount = $\frac{10}{100}*34=\frac{340}{100}$

Amount of discount = 3.40

Purchase price = 34 - 3.40 = 30.60

Trevion received the better one because he got it for 30.60
