Quantity A: The price of a television when it is on sale at 25% off. Quantity B: The price of that television when its one sale at $25 off.
Correct answer: D. It is impossible to determine which quantity is greater.
- A. Quantity A is greater.
- B. Quantity B is greater.
- C. Quantities A and B are equal.
- D. It is impossible to determine which quantity is greater.
Explanation
25 percent off a television priced P saves 0.25P, while the other sale saves a fixed 25 dollars. If P is 100 dollars both are equal, above 100 the percentage sale is cheaper and below it the flat sale is cheaper, so without the price it is impossible to tell.
