To determine which store offers the better discount, we need to compare the discounted price from HomeGoods with the price from the second store.
Let's start by calculating the discount offered by HomeGoods. We know that HomeGoods offers a 16% discount on the original price of $573. To calculate the discount amount, we multiply 16% (or 0.16) by the original price:
Discount amount = 0.16 * $573
Discount amount = $91.68
Next, we need to calculate the discounted price at HomeGoods. This is done by subtracting the discount amount from the original price:
Discounted price at HomeGoods = $573 - $91.68
Discounted price at HomeGoods = $481.32
Comparing this with the price at the second store, which is $458.40, we can see that the discounted price at HomeGoods ($481.32) is higher. Therefore, HomeGoods offers the better discount in this case.
