Nathan wants to buy a sweatshirt and is trying to determine the better buy. He has a 30% coupon for the in-store purchase. The store charges $42 for the sweatshirt he wants.
Inhouse cost:: 42-0.30*42 = 0.7*42 = $29.40
-------------------------------
However, he found the same sweatshirt online for $34 and gets 25% off as a first-time buyer.

There are no shipping charges. Which is the better buy? By how much?
