A dishwasher is priced at $475. There are two options offered to reduce the price: either a 15% discount off the price or a rebate of $75. Which is the better choice, and what is the extra amount saved?

Rebate ; $3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

15% of 475

15/100 × 475 = 71.25

Rebate > 71.25

Difference:

75 - 71.25

3.75

Rebate, $3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

15% Off:

We want to find 15% of 475, so we can multiply 15% by 475 to find the discount

Convert 15% to a decimal by diving by 100 or moving the decimal place over 2 spots to the left

15/100=0.15

0.15* 475

71.25

Rebate:

75.00

Extra Amount Saved:

We want to find the difference between the discount and the rebate, so we can subtract

75-71.25

3.75

The rebate is the better choice, because 75.00 is greater than 71.25, and you will save $3.75 using the rebate

1/4 because there is 4 grades.
