Question

A new top-selling DVD is marked 20% off at Discount DVD, where it normally sells for $29.90. The same disc sells for $28.60 at Value Video, where you have a coupon for 15% off anything in the store. Where would you buy the DVD? Explain how you decided and be sure to include work to support your answer.

Answer 1

You would buy the DVD at Discount DVD.

Explanation:

To decide where to buy the DVD, you have to determine the price at each store after the discount is applied.

-Discount DVD: $29.90*0.2=$5.98

$29.90-$5.98=$23.92

-Value Video: $28.60*0.15=$4.29

$28.60-$4.29=$24.31

According to this, you would buy the DVD at Discount DVD because it is where you will get the lower price.
