Shona is buying a rug for her room. Store A has the rug for $45 with a 10% discount. Store B has the same rug for
$46 and is offering a $10 off coupon. The sales tax is 6% on either purchase. If Shona only has $40 to spend, which
store will she purchase the rug from, and how much will she have left over?
