Kathy Townsend · Answer 1

Tyron got the better deal because 12*50=600+199=799 but Penelope had to pay 822 because 49*18=882

Javion Durham · Answer 2

First we calculate for Tyron:

199 + (12*50) = 199+600=$799

And now for Penelope

0 + (18*49) = 0+882=$882

Since $799<$882 Tyron got the better buy! If you have any questions comment below
