Answer:
15 dollars off is the better deal or "A is 2 dollars better."
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take it step-by-step and scout out each possibility:
Since the jeans are $65, we can first try what we get when we take 15 dollars off:
- [tex]\left\begin{array}{cc}65&\\15\end{array}\right[/tex]
[tex]___________[/tex]_______
[tex]50[/tex] So 50 is what we get for the first possibility.
Now let's try 20% off:
[tex]\frac{20}{100}[/tex] · [tex]65[/tex] = 13. Now, remember, that 13 isn't our final answer. 13 is the amount off. So 65 - 13 = 52 is what we get for the second possibility.
Evaluate:
So 15 dollars off is the better deal or "A is 2 dollars better."
