Question

Which coupon should Mike use to save the most money on a dishwasher originally priced at $700? Save $200 one purchase of $625 or more or 30% off any item

Answer 1

Explanation

to solve this we need to find 30 % of the price and compare to $200

so

Step 1

find 30 % of 700

to find this we can use the formula

$x\text{ \% of a number y = y*}\frac{x}{100}$

hence

$30\text{ \% of 700 = 700*}\frac{30}{100}=210$

so, 30 % of 70o is 210

Step 2

finally, compare

$\begin{gathered} coupon\text{ 1 = 200} \\ Coupon\text{ 2= 210} \\ 210>200 \\ so \\ Coupon\text{ 2}>copuon\text{ 1} \end{gathered}$

therefore, Mike should use the 30% off any item coupon
