Determine the promotional price of each item at each store. Item Original Price Discount (Dollars) $15.00 Off 40% Off (Dollars) (Dollars) A music box$75 $ $ A faux Ming vase$60.00 $ $ Suppose a friend of yours wants to buy a crystal candlestick. You remember seeing this item at both Annie's Attic and Betty's Breakables, but you do not remember the price. What advice should you give your friend in this situation

Answer 1

Go to Betty breakables when the price of the crystal candle is > $37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Annie's attic offers $15 off any purchase

Betty breakables offers 40% off any purchase

For both stores

Music box = $75 ( non discounted price )

Faux Ming vase = $60 ( non discounted price )

Discounted prices for Music box

For Annie's attic = 75 - 15 = $60

For Betty breakables = 75 - ( 40% * 75 ) = $45

Discounted prices for Faux Ming vase

For Annie attic = 60 - 15 = $45

For Betty breakables = 60 - ( 40% *60 ) = $36

lets assume the price of the Crystal candle to be x

we will buy from betty breakables If 40% of x > $15 discount offered by Annie's

40/ 100 * x > 15

x > 100/40 * 15

x > 37.5

Go to Betty breakables when the price of the crystal candle is > $37.5
