Breanna · Answer 1

I think it is 30 because if you take 37.90 from 53.00 you get 15.90 and you calculate it like this:

15.90*100≈1590:53≈30%

Aliya Huff · Answer 2

We could use the numbers and the difference of the original cost - the end price in a equation.

53 * x/100 = 15.9

Cross multiply 100 * 15.9.

53x=1590

Divide both sides by 53.

x=30

The coupon was 30%
