Store B by $2.

B.
Store A by $2

C.
Store B by $4

D.
Store A by $4

Answer 1

Answer: I think the answer is b

Explanation:

20% off means that there is 80% on which means you pay that 80% so you move the decimal point two spots

80.0% to .80 and multiply store a’s price of 59.99 to get 47.992 round the two in the decimal down making the total price for store a 47.99 and total price for store b 49.99 so store a is the better price by two dollars
