Question

Kristen and brett found three different deals on the same smart tv they want to figure out which deal is better before tax

1.Original Price: $320
Discount: 15% off

2.Original Price: $349.99
Discount: 75% off

3. Original Price: $360
New Price: $280

Answer 1

Option 2 would be the better deal, as long as they would only pay $ 87.37 for the smart TV.

Explanation:

To determine which deal is better before taxes, the aforementioned discounts must be made at the original prices and their results compared, through the following calculations:

1)

320 - (320 x 15/100) = X

320 - 48 = X

272 = X

2)

349.49 - (349.49 x 75/100) = X

349.49 - 262.11 = X

87.37 = X

3)

280 = X

Therefore, as can be seen, option 2 would be the better deal, as long as they would only pay $ 87.37 for the smart TV.
