Coupon A gives the lower price,is $3.75 less than the price with coupon b
Explanation
Step 1
get the final price
a) Coupon A
$ 18 rebate on a $95 bycicle
so, the final price is
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{final price=original price-discoutn} \\ \text{ final price=\$95 -\$18} \\ \text{ final price(a)=\$77} \end{gathered}[/tex]
b) 15% off of a $95 bucycle
fint, the value for 15% of $95
[tex]15\text{ percent=}\frac{\text{15}}{100}=0.15[/tex]
so, to know the value for 15% of $95,do:
[tex]\text{discount}=0.15\cdot95=14.25[/tex]
the discount for coupon b is $14.25,
hence the final price is
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Final price=\$95 -\$14.25} \\ \text{ Final price=80.75} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence,
[tex]\text{ Final price(B)=\$ 80.75}[/tex]
Step 2
compare the prices(difference)
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Price(a)}=77 \\ \text{Price(b)}=80.75 \\ \text{pric e(b)-price(a)=80.75-77=3.75} \end{gathered}[/tex]
I hope this helps you
