Question

PLEASE HELP Store I offers a pair of shoes Karen wants for 25% off their regular price of $12.00. Store J sells the same pair of shoes for $10, before a $2.00 mail-in rebate. Where should Karen purchase her shoes? Explain your reasoning. (Be sure to consider the cost of postage, as well as the time and effort required to mail in the rebate request in your response.)

Answer 1

.25(12.00) = 3 so 12-3 = $9
then store J 10-2 = 8 dollars so....
Store J is Better

Answer 2

store 1 : 12 - 0.25(12) = 12 - 3 = 9...so u would be paying $ 9 at store 1

store 2 : 10 - 2 = 8....+ cost of postage and 6 to 8 week wait time for ur mail in rebate.

store 1 is a better deal because I bet ur postage is going to be more then the $ 1 u would save from buying at store 2
