Two stores carry a similar stereo for the same original price of $573. One store offers a 16% discount and the second store sells the stereo for $458.40. Which store gives the bigger percent discount? Justify your answer.
Anways, since Im nice. The answer is
573-458.4 divided by 573 = 0.2 or 20 %.
20% of 458.40 is 91.68, the second store is cheaper.
100 - 16 = 84
.84*573 = 481.32
which is more than 458.40
The second store price is cheaper beacuse 16% of 573 gives off $91.68 and when u do that u get $481.32 so 458.40 is cheaper.
thank chu
Im lil confused.. But thank u so much for the answer:3 <3
Agal, you idiot. .84 and 0.84 is the same thing.
First, you would do 16% of 573 and you would get $91.68.
Then you would subtract 91.68 by 573 and get 481.32.
So the second store has the bigger percent discount since $481.32 is more than $458.40.
100 - 16 = 84
.84*573 = 481.32
which is more than 458.40
this might be correct
