A 3-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 has entries Computer repair, Sales tax, total price, gratuity. Column 2 is labeled Store A with entries 1,200 dollars, 6 percent, 1,272 dollars, 15 percent. Column 3 is labeled Store B with entries 1,350 dollars, 7 percent, 1,444 dollars and 50 cents, 15 percent.

$172.50
$198.38
$210.13
$250.25

Answer 1

The total price for Store A is $1,272 ($1,200 + 6% sales tax), and with 15% gratuity, it becomes $1,464.60 ($1,272 + $192.60).

The total price for Store B is $1,444.50 ($1,350 + 7% sales tax), and with 15% gratuity, it becomes $1,661.18 ($1,444.50 + $216.68).

The difference in total price between the two repairs, including gratuity, is:
$1,661.18 - $1,464.60 = $196.58, which is closest to $198.38.

Therefore, the answer is $198.38.
