You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A. What is 25% of $15? (15*.25) = $3.75. The 5 dollar coupon saves her $5, and the 25% off saves 3.75. use the 5 off coupon
B. What price will yield the same savings?

20 = x.
The price break point is 20. Anything less than 20, use the $5 off. Anything more than $20, use the 25% off. At 20, it doesn't matter
