Ms. Sue,

To determine which store sells the shoes for the lower sale price, we need to calculate the sale price for each store and compare them.

In Store A, the shoes are on sale at 20% off. To find the sale price, we need to subtract 20% from the regular price of $54.99.

Step 1: Calculate the discount amount: $54.99 * 20% = $10.998 (rounded to $11)

Step 2: Subtract the discount amount from the regular price: $54.99 - $11 = $43.99

So, the sale price in Store A is $43.99.

In Store B, the shoes are on sale at 30% off. Following a similar process:

Step 1: Calculate the discount amount: $59.99 * 30% = $17.997 (rounded to $18)

Step 2: Subtract the discount amount from the regular price: $59.99 - $18 = $41.99

So, the sale price in Store B is $41.99.

Comparing the sale prices, we find that Store B sells the shoes for the lower sale price ($41.99) compared to Store A ($43.99).

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Store B; Store A’s sale price is $43.99, and Store B’s sale price is $41.99.
