Complete question :
A pair of $36 jeans were on sale at Jim's Jeans for 1/3 off. The same pair of jeans were $42 at David's Denims. The jeans were on sale for 2/3 off.
A.) which store had the better buy
B.) how much will you pay at the store that has the better buy
Answer:
A.)David's denim has the better buy
B.) $14
Step-by-step explanation:
Jim's Jean store :
Cost of Jean = $36
Discount = 1/3 off
Discounted cost = $36 - (1/3 * $36)
Discounted cost = $36 - $12 = $24
David's Denim:
Cost of Jean = $42
Discount = 2/3 off
Discounted cost = $42 - (2/3 * $42)
Discounted cost = $42 - $28 = $14
David's denim has the better buy with a discounted price lower than the discounted price at Jim's store.
Cost at store with the better buy is $14
