Question

the original price of a grandfather clock is $729.00. which coupon is a better deal?
$275.00 off any clock
take 35% off any purchase!

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate discount of $275 off

Final price = $729.00 - $275.00 = $454.00

Step2: Calculate 35% discount amount

Discount = $729.00 \times 0.35 = $255.15

Step3: Calculate final price for 35% off

Final price = $729.00 - $255.15 = $473.85

Step4: Compare the two final prices

$454.00 < $473.85, so the $275 off coupon gives a lower final price.

Answer:

The 35% off coupon is a better deal.
