Question

Sheldon wants to buy a laptop that costs $ 450 from an electronics store . He has two coupons to choose from coupon A which gives him a $ 80 discount and coupon B which gives him a discount of 20.5 % off . Which coupon gives him the better buy ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Coupon B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Price = \ 450$

$Coupon\ A = \ 80$

$Coupon\ B = 20.5\%$

Required

Which coupon is better

From the question, we have:

$Coupon\ A = \ 80$

$Coupon\ B = 20.5\%$

Coupon B means that:

$Coupon\ B = 20.5\% * \ 450$

$Coupon\ B = 0.205 * \ 450$

$Coupon\ B = \ 92.25$

By comparison:

Coupon B gives him a better buy because: $\ 92.25 > \ 80$
