In Store A, a pair of shoes that regularly sells for $47.99 is on sale at 30% off. In Store B , the same pair of shoes regularly sells for $53.99 and is on sale for %40 off. Which store sells the shoes for the lower sale price?
To find the sale price in store A, we need to calculate 30% of $47.99.
30% = 30/100 = 0.3
Sale price in store A = $47.99 - (0.3 * $47.99) = $47.99 - $14.397 = $33.593
To find the sale price in store B, we need to calculate 40% of $53.99.
40% = 40/100 = 0.4
Sale price in store B = $53.99 - (0.4 * $53.99) = $53.99 - $21.596 = $32.394
Therefore, store B sells the shoes for the lower sale price.
