Part 3=Which store has the better deal? *
A- Macy's
B- JCPenney

Answer 1

Macy’s

Explanation:

let’s find the cost of each shirt

JCPenny’s: 14.99 x 0.80 = $11.99

11.99 x 1.06 = $12.70

The final cost of the JCPenny shirt is $12.70

Macy’s: 17.99 x 0.65 = $11.69

11.69 x 1.07 = $12.51

The final cost of the Macy’s shirt is $12.51

$12.51 is less than $12.70

So, the Macy’s shirt is the better deal :)
