Choice B) Jacket world has the better deal.

Choice D) Both stores are offering a 25% discount on the jacket.

Choice E) The difference in sale prices at the two stores is $7.50

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

25% = 0.25

25% of $190 = 0.25*190 = 47.50

190 - 47.50 = 142.5

This indicates the price at Jacket World is $142.5 instead of $150

Therefore, choice A is false.

---------------------

Choice B on the other hand is true because $142.50 at Jacket World is a lower price compared to $150 at Clothes Are Us. Jacket World has the better deal.

---------------------

Because choice B was shown to be true, there's no way choice C can be true as well. Otherwise, we'd have a contradiction. So we can rule out choice C.

---------------------

Let's find the percentage discount for Clothes Are Us.

The original price is $200 and its sale price is $150. So you save 200-150 = 50 dollars.

Divide that over the original price to find the discount: 50/200 = 0.25 = 25%

Therefore, Clothes Are Us has the same discount percentage as Jacket World. Both have a 25% discount. Choice D is true.

---------------------

Comparing the two sale prices of $150 (Clothes Are Us) and $142.50 (Jacket World), the difference in price is 150-142.50 = 7.50; this means choice E is a true statement.
