Answer:
The item when it is costs $50 and there is a 55% item, as the cost would be $22.50
Explanation:
Whenever a discount is offered on a certain item, we can find the new price of the item using the formula.
, where N(P) is the new price (price when discount is applied), P is the percentage (converted to a decimal to simplify the problem), and O is the old price (price before discount is applied)
First store: Since the item costs $60 (O) at this store and there is a 60% discount (60% becomes 0.60 and is our P value), we can find the new price aka N(P):

Second store: For this store, our O value is $50, and our P value is 0.55 (55% becomes 0.55):

Thus, the second store has the better price
