Ann would pay $359.60 for a smartphone with a 60% discount on the store's website, and $431.52 at the store combining a 40% discount with an extra 20% off coupon. Therefore, the website offers the better deal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ann is comparing prices for a smartphone at both a store and on the store's website.
(a) Price on the store's website with a 60% discount:
The regular price of the smartphone is $899. A 60% discount off the regular price is calculated as $899 * 0.60 = $539.40. Therefore, the discounted price would be $899 - $539.40 = $359.60.
(b) Price at the store with a 40% discount and an additional 20% coupon:
First, we calculate the 40% discount on the regular price: $899 * 0.40 = $359.60. This makes the sale price $899 - $359.60 = $539.40. Then we apply an additional 20% discount on the sale price: $539.40 * 0.20 = $107.88. The final price Ann would pay at the store is $539.40 - $107.88 = $431.52.
(c) Which is the better deal?
Comparing $359.60 (website price) with $431.52 (store price), Ann would pay less for the smartphone on the website.
