Final prices are the same.

Answer 1

Surfmania, $3.40 in savings

Explanation:

First, find the price with Surfmania:

170(0.7)

= 119

Find the price with Coolwaves now:

170(0.9)

= 153

153(0.8)

= 122.4

Now, find the amount in savings:

122.4 - 119

= 3.4

So, Surfmania has the better deal with $3.40 in savings.
