Matt has decided to purchase his textbooks for the semester. His options are to purchase the books online with next-day delivery at a cost of $175, or to drive to campus tomorrow to buy the books at the university bookstore at a cost of $170. Last week he drove to campus to buy a concert ticket because they offered 25 percent off the regular price of $16. The benefit to Matt of buying his books at the university bookstore instead of online is Multiple Choice $170. $175. $9. $5.
