Answer 2

Answer:

The flea treatment is $2.05 cheaper at Pet Store 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pet store 1

Regular price = $33

40% off the regular price

= 40% of $33

= 0.4 × 33

= $13.2

25% off the regular price

= 25% of $33

= 0.25 × 33

= $8.25

Total paid = $33 - $13.2 - $8.25

= $11.55

Pet store 2

Regular price = $34

55% off of the regular price

= 55% of $34

= 0.55 × 34

= $18.7

5% off of the regular price

= 5% of $34

= 0.05 × 34

= $1.7

Total paid = $34 - $18.7 - $1.7

= $13.6

Difference in price = $13.6 - $11.55

= $2.05

The flea treatment is $2.05 cheaper at Pet Store 1.
