The differnece in price bewtween the store T-shirt and the On-line T-shirt

Nathan can purchase a Tshirt by $38 with 30% discount or $34 with 25% discount. Which is the cheapest option?
Is there enough information to enable you to find a solution?
Yes, we have the list price for both T-shirt and the discount on each one.
<u>Devise a plan:</u>
<u>Use a formula</u>
list price less discount = net cost
<u>We will calculate the net cost for the T-shirt</u>
<em>in-store purchase scenario</em>
$38 - 30% coupon = 26.6 dollars
<em>on-line purchase scenario</em>
$34 - 25% off = 25,5 dollars
<u>The difference will be:</u>
$26.6 - $25.5 = 1.1 dollar in favor of the online purchase
