Store A charges $1,200 for repairs with a 6 percent sales tax. Store B charges $1,350 with a 7 percent sales tax. Explain how you would determine the amount of money saved by using Store A instead of Store B?

Answer 1

sales tax- rate×original amount

A- 6/100(1200)=72

B- 7/100(1350)=94.5

Answer 2

Explanation:

Store A:

6% of 1,200 is 72

72 + 1,200 = 1,272

Thus, store A has a total of 1,272

Store B:

7% of 1,350 is 94.5

94.5 + 1,350 = 1444.5

Thus, Store B has a total of 1444.5

1444.5 - 1,272 = 172.5

Thus, Store A is cheaper.
