(b) The store's website is offering the tablet at a 70% discount off the regular price. But Josh's coupon is in-store only. It cannot be used for purchases on the website. Ignoring tax and shipping, how much would he pay for the tablet on the store's website?

(c) Select the true statement.

Josh would pay less for the tablet on the website.
Josh would pay the same amount at the store and on the website.
(a) Josh would pay $319.20 for the tablet at the store after the 60% discount and additional 10% coupon.
(b) Josh would pay $266.70 for the tablet on the store's website after the 70% discount.
(c) Josh would pay less for the tablet on the website.
(a) To find out how much Josh would pay for the tablet at the store, we need to calculate the price after applying the discounts.
First, we will calculate the sale price by taking 60% off the regular price of $889:
Sale Price = $889 * 0.60 = $533.40
Next, we will calculate the final price after applying the additional 10% coupon discount. This can be done by taking 10% off the sale price:
Final Price = $533.40 * 0.90 = $480.06
Therefore, Josh would pay $480.06 for the tablet at the store.
(b) To determine the price of the tablet on the store's website, we will apply the 70% discount to the regular price of $889:
Website Price = $889 * 0.70 = $622.30
Since the coupon is only valid in-store and cannot be used on the website, Josh would pay $622.30 for the tablet on the store's website.
(c) The true statement is: Josh would pay less for the tablet at the store.
