Answer 1

Shawna buys her rug at STORE B and she has $1.84 left over after purchasing her rug.

Explanation:

Store a

Store a sells their rug for $45

Store a offers a discount of 10%

Discount = 10% × $45 = $4.5

Amount payable after discount = $45 - $4.5

= $41.5

There is a sales tax of 6%

The total amount payable

Amount of sales tax + Discounted price of rug

Amount of sales tax = 6 % × $41.5

= $2.472

= Discounted amount + Sales tax

= $41.5 + $2.472

=$43.972

Store b

Store a sells their rug for $46

There is a sales tax of 6%

The total amount payable

Store b offers a 10 dollar coupon off for the rug

= $46 - 10

Amount payable after = $36

Amount of sales tax + price of rug(After coupon is deducted)

Amount of sales tax = 6 % × $36

= $2.16

Amount payable by Shawna in Store a = $36 + Sales tax

= $36 + $2.16

=$38.16

Since Shawna has , only $40 to spend, she buys her rug at STORE B

The amount she has left = $40 - $38.16

= $1.84
