Question

Raven needs new winter boots. Both Shoe Town and LaceUp shoe stores carry the boots

Answer 1

Answer:

Raven should buy the boots at LaceUp since total cost is lower ($77.54)

Step-by-step explanation:

price of the boots at Shoe Town:

[$85.95 x (1 - 15%)] x (1 + 7.16%) = $73.06 x 1.0716 = $78.29

price of the boots at LaceUp:

{[$85.95 x (1 - 10%)] - $5} x (1 + 7.16%) = ($77.36 - $5) x 1.0716 = $72.36 x 1.0716 = $77.54

price of the boots at Run, Don't Walk (online store):

$71.99 + $6.50 = $78.49
