Question

A local pizza place sends you online coupons. You can't combine the coupons, and you are trying to choose from two deals: $6.99 per two-topping medium pizza or 20% off the regular price of $11 for a medium two-topping pizza. Which deal is better and when?

Answer 1

The first pizza is the better deal.

The first pizza is $6.99, while the second pizza would be $8.80 after the coupon is applied.

11 x 0.2 = 2.20

11 - 2.20 = 8.80
