Answer 1

Answer:

The second store gives a bigger percent discount

Explanations:

The original price of the stereo = $573

%discount offered by the first store = 16%

The amount the second store sells the Stereo = $458.40

Discount offered by the second store = $573 - $458.40

Discount offered by the second store = $114.60

%Discount = (Discount/Original Price) x 100%

%Discount = 114.60/573 x 100%

%Discount = 20%

%Discount offered by the second store = 20%

The second store gives a bigger percent discount
