Question

Lila needs a custom frame for a painting that her friend made for her. I’ve Been Framed is offering 50 percent off their regular price of $115 plus an additional 10 percent off the sale price. The Framers is offering 30 percent off their regular price of $120 plus an additional 40 percent off the sale price. Which location is offering the better price and how much cheaper is it?

Answer 1

The Framers are offering a better price and are cheaper by $1.35

Explanation:

I've been framed price:

50% off of 115 = 0.5*115 = 57.5

10% off of sale price = 0.9*57.5 = $51.75

the Framers price:

30% off of 120 = 0.7*120 = 84

40% off of sale price = 0.6*84 = $50.40

Difference: 51.75-50.40 = $1.35
