Answer:

A. $100 rebate coupon.

Step-by-step explanation:

$100 dollars off of $479.99 would be $379.99, compared to the 20% off which would be $384.99

Calculating percentages isn't too hard:

Multiply the percent by the original cost.

20 x 479.99 which is 95.99

479.99 - 95.99 = 384

A. $100 rebate

$479.99 - $100

$379.99

B. 20% off

20% of $479.99 is $96.00

$479.99 - $96.00

$383.99

At this point, the $100 rebate is a better coupon
