Trevion received the better one because he got it for 30.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Original price of cap bought by James = 38.99
Sale = 20% off
Amount of discount = [tex]\frac{20}{100}*38.99=\frac{779.8}{100}[/tex]
Amount of discount = 7.80
Purchase price = Original price - Amount of discount
Purchase price = 38.99 - 7.80 = 31.19
Original price of cap bought by trevion
Sale = 10% off
Amount of discount = [tex]\frac{10}{100}*34=\frac{340}{100}[/tex]

Purchase price = 34 - 3.40 = 30.60
