Question 1161202: Tony wants to buy some doughnuts. He is very cheap and likes to save even the smallest amount of money. He found a coupon in the paper for Tim Horton’s donuts. The coupon was for $1 off a dozen doughnuts. This week a dozen doughnuts are on sale for $3.99 without the coupon and $.35 a piece if you use the coupon. What do you think Tony will do and why?

WITH the coupon, already twelve individual pieces would cost MORE than using the coupon for one dozen. 
                    1Dozen         Pieces

Sale Cost            $3.99

If $1 coupon         $highlight%282.99%29       $(0.35)(12)=$4.22

Tim Horton's shop made this special deal to encourage customer to buy 1 dozen donuts
