Question

1. Mrs. Nelson wants to buy a wireless speaker for her son. She has

narrowed down her choice to two stores:
• Kohl’s is selling the speaker for $60.00. Mrs. Nelson has a Friends and
Family discount coupon for 25% off.
• Target purchased the speaker for $38.00 and marked it up by 15% to sell
to its customers.

a.) How much would Mrs. Nelson pay for the speaker at Kohl’s? Show your work.(2 points)

b.) How much would Mrs. Nelson pay for this speaker at Target? Show your work. (2 points)

c.) Which store would Mrs. Nelson get the best deal and by how much? Show your work. (2 points)

Answer 1

For Kohl’s:

Purchase Price:

$60

Discount:

(60 x 25)/100 = $15.00

Final Price:

60 - 15.00 = $45.00

You would save $15.00 from Kohl’s and pay only $45.00

For Target:

Purchase Price:

$38

Discount:

(38 x 15)/100 = $5.70

Final Price:

38 - 5.70 = $32.30

You would save $5.70 from Target and pay only $32.30

Hope this helps! :)
