Question

Which scenario is a better deal, show work. Levi jeans at regularly priced at $80 discounted for 20%. OR Macy's same jeans prices for $95 discounted 15% then an additional 10% taken off at the counter?

Answer 1

20% =  0.80
80 x .80 = $64 

15% = 0.85
10% = 0.90 

95 X .85 = 80.75
80.75 X 0.90 = $72.68

Levis jeans at regular price is the better deal 

Answer 2

Levi jeans would total out to $64. Macy's jeans would total out to $71.25,
Therefore making Levi jeans a better deal.
