Zena can get an item online for $19 that weighs 8 pounds. Shipping and handling costs 0.49 per pound. She can also buy the same item locally for $26.95, and she has a $5 off coupon. Which is the better buy?
At 49 cents per pound for 8 pounds, you will spend $3.92 for shipping. So, the item online is $30.20 with shipping and handleing.
The price for the local item is 26.95 - 5.00 coupon..= $21.05
Thei loca item is the better price.
