Question

Two furniture stores have the same sofa and chair for sale. Prices for the furniture and a special offer are given in the table. If Sam plans on having his furniture delivered, which store offers the better deal and how much is saved?

a. Value Furniture - $25 saved
b. Value Furniture - $100 saved
c. M & R Furniture - $25 saved
d. M & R Furniture - $75 saved

Answer 1

They can Save $20 the rest are wrong

Answer 2

To determine which store offers a better deal, we need to calculate the total cost of the furniture plus delivery at each store.

For Value Furniture:
- The cost of the sofa is $500
- The cost of the chair is $300
- The special offer is 10% off
- The delivery cost is $75

So, the total cost at Value Furniture is:

($500 + $300) - 10%($500 + $300) + $75 = $825 - $80 + $75 = $820

For M & R Furniture:
- The cost of the sofa is $550
- The cost of the chair is $250
- The special offer is free delivery

So, the total cost at M & R Furniture is:

$550 + $250 = $800

Therefore, the better deal is at M & R Furniture, where the total cost is $800. At Value Furniture, the total cost is $820, so Sam can save:

$820 - $800 = $20 at Value Furniture

Therefore, the answer is:

a. Value Furniture - $25 saved (incorrect)
b. Value Furniture - $100 saved (incorrect)
c. M & R Furniture - $25 saved (incorrect)
d. M & R Furniture - $75 saved (incorrect)

None of the options given are correct. The correct answer is that M & R Furniture offers the better deal and Sam can save $20 by purchasing from Value Furniture.
