Danielle wants to buy a video game. at the local big box store, it costs $49.95. danielle has a coupon for 10% off at the store, and she will pay a 6.5% sales tax.
a. how much will the total cost be at the local store?
at an online store, the game is $44.95, with $4.00 shipping charge and no sales tax.
b. how much will the total cost at the online store be?
c. which store would be cheaper?

Here are the answers to the questions above. Given the problem, let us solve first for the cost of each store. At a local store, it costs $49.95. Since she has a 10% off discount, the amount that she will be paying is $44.955. Since, there is a 6.5% tax, the total amount she will be paying is $48.20. Now, for the online store, it costs $44.95 plus a shipping charge of $4.00 so the total would be $48.95. Given these results, it would be cheaper if she buys in the local store. Hope this helps.
