George purchases a video game that costs $45.00. He uses two coupons when he buys the video game. The first coupon gives 25% off of the price. The second coupon is for $5.00 off the price of any video game. When the clerk rings up George’s purchase, he takes the $5.00 off first and then applies the 25% discount to the remaining amount. Would the price that George paid for the video game have increased, decreased or stayed the same if the clerk had taken the 25% discount first and then taken off the $5.00 coupon?
