Melissa has two coupons for pants.

Coupon A: 15% off of $35 pants
Coupon B: $3 rebate on $35 pants
Choose the coupon that gives the lower price.
Then fill in the blank with the correct value.

Coupon A gives the lower price.

The price after Coupon A is 35 - (0.15 * 35) = $29.75.
The price after Coupon B is 35 - 3 = $32.
Therefore, the value that goes in the blank is $29.75.
