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.

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.

Hope this helped

Did you know that when comparing percent discounts, the size of the discount doesn't only depend on the final prices? In the case of two stores selling a stereo, one offering a 16% discount and the other selling it for $458.40, it may seem that the first store is giving a larger discount. However, after calculating, we can realize that the second store actually offers a bigger percent discount. The original price of the stereo was $573, and a 16% discount from the first store corresponds to a reduction of $91.68. Subtracting this discount from the original price, we get $573 - $91.68 = $481.32. Comparing this to the second store's price of $458.40, we can see that the second store gives a larger percent discount. Therefore, it's important to consider both the discounts and the final prices when determining which store offers the bigger percent discount.
