Question

Bobby goes to one store and finds a Christmas tree for $49.99. The store is having a 20% off sale. Bobby decides to go across the street to another store and finds the same tree for $54.99. This store is having a 25% off sale. What is the difference in the sale prices for the tree?

Answer 1

1.24

Explanation:

first multiply 20% and 49.99= 10

subtract 10 from 49.99= 40

multiply 25% and 54.99= 13.75

subtract 13.75 from 54.99= 41.24

subtract 41.24 and 40= 1.24
