Question

Store A sells a watch for $50 and offers a 5% discount Store B sells the same watch for $60 and offers a 20% discount. From which store should you buy your

watch and why? Help please!!

Answer 1

You should buy the watch from Store A because it's cheaper

Explanation:

Store A sells a watch for $50 with a 5% discount.

Let's calculate the sale price. The 5% discount is

5/100*$50 = $2.50

The sale price is $50 - $2.50 = $47.50

Now for Store B. The price of the watch was $60 with a 20% discount.

Calculate 20% of $60:

20/100*$60 = $12

The sale price is $60 - $12 = $48

Thus, you should buy the watch from Store A because it's cheaper
