Question
Answer:
Hey! We can check which would give us a better price by calculating each final price after the discount has been added:
Option A):
$899 - $150 = $749
Option A) will cost $749.
Option B)
$899 × 0.25 = $224.75
$899 - $224.75 = $674.25
Option B) will cost $674.25
Option C)
$899 - $75 = $824
$824 × 0.15 = $123.6
$824 - $123.6 = $700.4
Option C) will cost $700.4
Option D)
$899 - $50 = $849
$849 × 0.20 = $169.8
$849 - $169.8 = 679.2
Option D) will cost $679.2
So, Coupon B) $674.25 is the best deal for the computer.
