Answer:

Total saving from First Store = $ 1.5 + $ 5 = $ 6.5

Total saving from Second Store = $ 5

Explanation:

Given - Jason can buy a bag of dog food for $25 at two different stores. One store offers 6% cash back on the purchase plus $5 off his next purchase. The other store offers 20% cash back.

To find - (a) Calculate the total savings from the first store, including the savings on the next purchase.

(b) Calculate the total savings from the second store.

Proof -

Given that,

Total cashback Jason get from First Store = 25×6% = 25×0.06 = $ 1.5

So,

Total saving from First Store = $ 1.5 + $ 5 = $ 6.5

Now,

Total cashback Jason get from Second Store = 25×20% = 25×0.20 = $ 5

So,

Total saving from Second Store = $ 5
