Answer 1

Carla's suitcase was a better purchase.

Explanation:

The complete question is:

Carla and Daniel bought identical suitcases at different stores. Carla's suitcase originally cost $75 and was discounted 19% Daniel's suitcase original cost $85 and was on sale for 20% off the original price. Which suitcase was the cheaper?

Solution:

• Cost Price of Carla's suitcase = $75

Discount% for Carla = 19%

The amount paid by Carla is,

`\text{Amount}=CP* [1-d\%]=75* [1-0.19]=60.75`

So, the amount paid by Carla was, $60.75.

• Cost Price of Jeana's suitcase = $85

Discount% for Jeana = 20%

The amount paid by Jeana is,

`\text{Amount}=CP* [1-d\%]=85* [1-0.20]=68`

So, the amount paid by Jeana was, $68.

Carla's suitcase was a better purchase.
