The difference in price between the two companies is $81-$79.56 = $1.44

Price of Chimney cap =$120

First Discount = 25% of(120)=$30

Price after 1st Discount = $120-$30=$90

Second Discount = 10% of 90=$9

Price after 2nd Discount = $90-$9=$81

<u>Builders' Supply</u>

Price of Chimney Cap= $111

First Discount= 25% of 111 = $27.75

Price after 1st Discount = $111 - $27.75 = $83.75

Second Discount = 5% of $83.75 = $ 4.1875

Price after 2nd Discount = $83.75 - $4.1875 = $79.5625 ≈ $79.56

Therefore,

a) Builders supply offers the lower price.

b) Difference in price = $81-$79.56 = $1.44
