Answer:

Store A has a better deal because $402.90 is less than $404.10.

Explanation:

Store A

The $25 off coupon reduces the price to ...

$499 - 25 = $474

The discount from this amount is 15%, so is ...

$474 × 0.15 = $71.10

The final amount paid is then ...

$474.00 -71.10 = $402.90

(Side note: you can select the correct answer at this point, because only one answer shows this value.)

___

Store B

After the $20 off coupon, the price is ...

$469 -20 = $449

The additional 10% discount amounts to ...

$449 × 0.10 = $44.90

So, the final price is ...

$449.00 -44.90 = $404.10

___

Now, you know that Store A offers the better price because $402.90 is less than $404.10.
