Answer 1

Answer:

2. $2.31

Step-by-step explanation:

25% off, 75% to be paid

75/100 × 31.5 = 23.625

20% off, 80% to be paid

80/100 × 26.75 = 21.4

18% off, 82% to be paid

82/100 × 26 = 21.32

Highest - Lowest

23.625 - 21.32

2.305

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Find the price in Store A

$Regular * (1 - Discount) = New$

$31.50 * (1 - 0.25) = New$

$31.50 * (0.75) = New$

$23.625 = New$

Step 2:  Find the price in Store B

$Regular * (1 - Discount) = New$

$26.75 * (1 - 0.20) = New$

$26.75 * (0.8) = New$

$21.40 = New$

Step 3:  Find the price in Store C

$Regular * (1 - Discount) = New$

$26.00 * (1 - 0.18) = New$

$26.00 * (0.82) = New$

$21.32 = New$

Step 4:  Find the difference between the highest and lowest

$23.625 - 21.32$

$2.305$

$2.31$
