We need to know the original price and the % decrease for both vehicles
S1
T_disc = 8%
We don't know anything about van
Insufficient
S2
V_disc = 12%
We don't know anything about truck
Insufficient
Together, we just know the discount % but not the original price. So, we cannot calculate the $ decrease.
Answer E

| Vehicle | Initial Price | Price Decrease | Statement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Truck | T | T * 8% | Statement 1 |
| Van | V | V * 12% | Statement 2 |
To compare the price decreases, we need to evaluate: \(T \times 8\%\) vs. \(V \times 12\%\)
However, we require information about the sizes of T and V to determine which vehicle had the greater dollar decrease in price.
Therefore, since (E)very effort failed, it's (E)
