Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer: They obtain different unit prices.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this we have to calculate the unit price for each case and compare.

Buy one at regular price; get a second one for half price. (half price = 50%)

if the price per clothe is $100:

100 + 100 (50/100) = 100+50 = 150

Price of each clothe = 150 /2 =75

50% discount method.

100 (50/100) = 50

Price per clothe =50

75 >50

With the Buy one, pay the second half Price method, the stores has more revenue per clothe.
