30% of 28 is 0.30 x 28 = 8.4 $
OR 30/100 x 28 = 8.4 $
8.4$ off. 28-8.4= 19.6 $ at Kara’s Krafts

Craft Emporium:
35% of 25 is 0.35 x 25 = 8.75 $
35/100 x 25 = 8.75 $
8.75$ off.
25 - 8.75 = 16.75$ at Craft Emporium

Craft Emporium has a better deal!

Answer: Craft Emporium(Based on what you told me)

Explanation:

30% is the same as 30/100

Since this is $28 dollars:

100/100 - 30/100 = 70/100

28 x 70/100 = $19.60 dollars

35% is the same as 35/100

Since this is $25 dollars:

100/100 - 35/100 = 65/100

25 x 65/100 = $16.25 dollars.
