Answer 1

16% off 573 is equal to (16 x 16) / 100 = 91.68. So if you buy an item at $573 with 16% discounts, you will pay $481.32 so the second store is the better choice please mark me brainiest

Answer 2

16% of $573 is $481.32, so the store with the discount would have the larger one because %481.32 is less than $458.40.
