A Store is having two sales on popcorn. The original price of the popcorn is $10 for 10 oz. Sale A offers you 33% more popcorn for free. Sale B offers you the same amount of popcorn, but at 33% off of the original price. What is the better deal? Why?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  33% off is the better deal

Step-by-step explanation:

1.33 times as much popcorn for the same price is equivalent to 1/1.33 ≈ 0.75 times the price for the original amount of popcorn. That price is equivalent to a sale of 1 - 0.75 = 0.25 = 25% off.

The sale price of 33% off is a better deal (if you don't want the extra popcorn).
