Answer 1

Store A

Explanation:

So. What we are going to want to do here is start off by having two stores obviously. And we have the sales that they have. If the discount is 20% rhat means the new price will be 80% of 250. So we take 250 x .8 = 200

If the discount is 25%, that means the new price will be 75% of what it was before hand. So we take 280 x .75 = 210. So the better price is at Store a
