Ava:
Cost per pair of shoes = $99
Total cost before discount = 4 x $99 = $396
Total cost after 30% discount = $396 - 0.3 x $396 = $277.20
Total cost after tax = $277.20 + 0.11 x $277.20 = $308.03
Massimo:
Cost per pair of shoes = $139
Total cost for 4 pairs before deal = 4 x $139 = $556
Total cost after deal = $556 - $139 = $417
Total cost after tax = $417 + 0.06 x $417 = $441.42
Therefore, Ava paid $308.03 for the four pairs of shoes and Massimo paid $441.42. Massimo paid more.
