A refrigerator is priced at $1,250. There are two options offered to reduce the price: either a 25% discount off the price
or a rebate of $300. Which is the better choice, and what is the extra amount saved?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The 25% discount is better; it saves $12.50

Explanation:

A discount represents a straightforward reduction in price by the stated percentage.  A rebate is a refund given after making payments.

For the 25% discount, the customer will make payments as follows.

25% discount deducted from the price of  $1250

=$1250-( 25/100 x 1250)

=$1250- (0.25 x 1250)

=$1250 -312.50

=$937.50

For 300 rebate, the customer will pay $1250 and get a refund of $300. The net payment will be $1250 minus $300

=$1250-300

=$950

The 25% discount option is better because the customer pays less by $12.50( $950 - 937.50)

A. The 25% discount is better; it saves $12.50 more.
