Col A : 6 coffes * 2.6 = 13.2 and we get 7th one free free free...

Col B : 7 coffees* 2.6 = 18.2 and 15% discount = 2.73 on total

A > B.

What I generally do to save time is instead of 2.60, I take 10 or 100 as we are dealing with percentage, 2.60 or 100 makes no difference.
10 and 100 will make things much simpler and you can solve this question in your head.

A: 6*2.6 = 15.6/7
B: (7*2.6)*0.85 = 15.47/7
