Question

Store has a price of $99 on an mp3 player. Store 2 is offering the same mp3 player at a sale price of 25% off their regular price of $125. Jerusha wants to buy an mp3 player. From which store should she buy it

Answer 1

Answer:

Store 2

Step-by-step explanation:

She should buy the mp3 from shop two because it’s cheaper there.

Store 1 is selling the mp3 for $99 while store 2 is offering it at 25% off the sale price of $125.

That’s 25% /100% x $125

0.25 x 125

$31.25

$125 - $31.25

$93.75

So , price at store 2 is $93.75 which is 25% off their regular price $125. And it’s also cheaper than the price at store 1 which is $99

Answer 2

Answer:

Store 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 ) Convert 25% to a decimal : 0.25

Step 2 ) Multiply that by amount (0.25×125=31.25)

Step 3 ) Subtract from amount (125−31.25)=$93.75

$93.75 is a better deal than $99
