Hey! So here's my problem,
I want two shirts from Limited Too in the clearance section. One shirt costs $9.99 and the other costs $14.99. I have two coupons that can save 25% on my entire purchase. Which is a better deal, use one coupon for both shirts, or use one coupon for one shirt, and another coupon for the other shirt. Please tell me the prices of both deals..
Thanks.. If you need any other details, just say so.

haha, if the coupon saves you 25% on the entire purchase, why don't you just buy both shirts at the same time, (you probably won't be allowed to use 2 coupons at once) so you can save one for the future
if you use the 25% coupon on both, you will have to pay $18.75
theres no reason to use both coupons on both shirts separately

It does not matter if you use one coupon or two since you are getting a 25% off your entire purchase either way. It would come out to the same amount.
If you were to use one coupon for each item:
$9.99 -25%= $7.49
$14.99 - 25%= $11.24
$7.49 + $14.99 = $18.73 (Total w/o tax)
If you were to use one coupon for both items:
$9.99 + $14.99 = $24.98
$24.98 - 25% = $18.73 (Total w/o tax)
In my opinion, you should only use one coupon now and save the additional coupon for a separate purchase in the near future.

Using 25% off the whole purchase will make it cost about $18. That is the better deal. If you only take 25% off one shirt, it won't save you much at all.
Basically, you want to use the discount on the greatest amount of money. Taking 25% off a small amount will hardly discount at all.

Use one coupon for both. Save the second one. The total cost is 24.98. 25% times 25 is $6.25. The total then would be 18.73. Using boeh would yield the same result but would waste the second coupon. 25% of 9.99 is 2.50. Total is 7.50 plus 25% of 14.99 is 3.75. 2.50+3.75= 6.25

The best deal is to use one coupon to cover both.
25% off $9.99 is $2.50 (rounded)
25% off $14.99 is $3.75 (also rounded)
You get $6.25 off either way, but one way you only use one coupon and get to keep the other one until next time.

it doesn't matter. saving 25% on one, then the other is the same as saving 25% on the sum of the two. either way the price is 75% of $24.98, or $18.74.
just use one coupon and save the other for later.

It will cost the same, it would be better to use just one coupon so you could use the other another day.
1 coupon for both: $18.73 after discount
2 coupons for each separately: $7.49 and $11.24...adds up to $18.73.

you have magnificent possibilities right here, Pythagoras created trigonometry, Euclid created planar geometry, and Newton created calculus. Pascal created a working laptop or computing gadget language long befiore desktops have been invented. some names did no longer make the lists from others. Mendelbrot invented fractal geomentry (returned earlier desktops), yet between the the final mathematicians no longer indexed is Johannes Kepplar.

If you take 25% off both or separately you save the same either way. You'd be better off saving one for another shopping trip when you want those Gucci pants or Abercrombi and Fitch (ripped) jeans.
