(2 points) c.) which store would mrs. house get the best deal and by how much? show your work. (2 points)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Kohl’s is selling the speaker for $60.00. Mrs. House has a Friends and Family discount coupon for 25% off.

This means that the amount that he would have to pay would be the cost of the speaker - 25% of this cost and multiplied by 100. It becomes

60 - (25/100 × 60) = 60 - 15 = $45

So she would be paying $45 at Kohl

b) Target purchased the speaker for $38.00 and marked it up by 15% to sell in the store. The price that she will pay at Target would be the sum of the price at which Target purchased it + 15% of this price. It becomes

38 + (15/100 × 38) = 38 + 5.7 = 43.7

So she would be paying $43.7 at Target.

c) she would get the best deal at Target because it is cheaper there. She would be saving

45 - 43.7 = $1.3
