Answer:

GameStop is better buy to buy Xbox One with final price of $315.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

For GameStop shop:

Given:

Original price = $350

Discount percent = 15%

Sales tax = 6%

We need to find the Total Cost of X box at GameStop shop.

First we will find Discounted price of X box.

Discounted price of X box can be calculated by Discount percent multiplied by Original price and then divided by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

Discount price = \frac{15}{100}\times 350 = \$52.5

Price of X box after discount = Original price - Discounted price = \$350 -\$52.5 = \$297.5

Sales tax = 6%

Sales tax amount = \frac{6}{100}\times 297.5 = \$17.85

Total Cost of the X box is equal to Price of X box after discount plus Sales tax amount.

framing in equation for we get;

Total Cost of the X box at GameStop = 297.5+17.85 = \$315.35

Hence Total Cost of X box One at GameStop shop is $315.35.

For Best buy Online:

Given:

Price of X box One = $310

Sales tax = 9%

Amount of sales tax = \frac{9}{100}\times 310=\$27.9

Total Cost of the X box is equal to Price of X box plus Sales tax amount.

framing in equation form we get;

Total Cost of the X box at Best Buy Online = \$310+\$27.9=\$337.9

Hence Total Cost of X box One at Best Buy is $337.9.

By Comparing Total Cost of X box One at GameStop shop and Total Cost of X box One at Best Buy we can see that Total Cost of X box One at GameStop shop is less than Total Cost of X box One at Best Buy.

Hence GameStop is better buy to buy Xbox One.
