Given
Maria is trying to decide which one of two winter coats she should buy.
The blue coat usually costs $48 but is on sale for 25% off.
The black coat usually costs $56 but is on sale for 40% off.
The cost of the blue coat after 25% discount;
[tex]= 48\times \dfrac{25}{100}\\\\= 48 \times \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\= 12[/tex]
The cost of the blue coat after discount = $48 - $12 = $36
The cost of the black coat after 40% discount;
[tex]= 56 \times \dfrac{40}{100}\\\\= 56 \times 0.40\\\\=22.4[/tex]
The cost of the black coat after discount = $56 - $22.4 = $33.6
The price of the coat less is the sale price of the black coat than the sale price of the blue coat is;
= $36 - $33.6
