Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A

  • 1. $22500 - $2000 = $20500
  • 2. $20500 - 10% = $20500*0.9 = $18450

This is g(f(x)) since the first step is same  f(x) and the second step is g(x)

Option B

  • 1. $22500 - 10% = $22500*0.9 = $20250
  • 2. $20250 - $2000 = $18250

This is f(g(x)) since the first step is g(x) and the second one f(x)

This option is better as 10% discount is applied to full price and final price is less.
