Answer 1

$165.8 ;

$223.83 ;

Henry would pay less for the tablet on the website.

Explanation:

Given :

Regular price = $829

On website :

80% discount off the regular price :

(100 - 80)% * regular price

20% * 829

0.2 * $829 = $165.8

At store :

70% off regular price :

(100 - 70)% * 829

0.3 * 829

= $248.7

10% off sale price :

(100 - 10)% * $248.7

0.9 * 248.7

= $223.83

Henry would pay less for the tablet on the website.
