Sarah wants to buy a new laptop. Store A is currently selling the laptop for $1,640 with an additional 20% off. Store B is selling the laptop for $1,500 with an additional 10% off. Which store offers a better deal?
Store A offers a 20% discount which is equivalent to 0.20 x $1,640 = $328.
The laptop is therefore sold for $1,640 - $328 = $1,312 at Store A.
Store B offers a 10% discount which is equivalent to 0.10 x $1,500 = $150.
The laptop is therefore sold for $1,500 - $150 = $1,350 at Store B.
Therefore, Store A offers a better deal at $1,312 compared to Store B at $1,350.
