Given:

Sculpture price: $281.90

20% off Coupon 

$50 Coupon

Find which coupon will save the most money.

Solution:

Determine how much is the 20% of the Sculpture's price, in order to compare which coupon will save most money. In order to do so, convert 20% to decimal by dividing it with 100.

=20/100

=0.2

Multiply 0.2 with the Sculpture's price.

=(0.2)($281.90)

=$56.38

$56.38 is higher compared to $50, therefore using the 20% coupon will save the most money.
