The Story of “Coupon Frenzy”!
Taylor is a Senior in high school, and will graduate in two
weeks! He/ she has been accepted to a major University, and
has received the HOPE scholarship. However, Taylor’s parents
have only allotted him or her $1150 to shop for the new dorm.
The University requires that Taylor be equipped with specific
items (found on items link). Taylor decides that he/she should
begin the shopping so Taylor heads to the mall. When Taylor
arrives he/she finds that the mall is having “Coupon Frenzy!”
day. All Taylor has to do is answer a question at each store to
receive a specific percentage off the purchase in that store.
Taylor soon realizes the only way he/she can afford all of the
items needed is to receive a majority of the coupons. Taylor
cannot wait to begin his/ her bargain shopping!
