Question

Problem:

Store A has the bat originally priced at $245 and is having a 25% off sale.

Store B’s bat has an original price of $166 but is marked up 20%.

Which store has the better price for the baseball bat

Answer 1

Store A has a better deal

Explanation:

Store A-

245x.25=61.25

245-61.25=183.75

Store A's sale price is $183.75

Store B-

166x.20=33.20

166+33.20= 199.20

Store B's new price is $199.20

Conclusion

$183.75 is less than $199.20 so store A has a better deal because you're paying less than what you would be paying at store B
