A. You are shopping for an executive desk chair at The Furniture Gallery. You see two you like on sale. Chair A was originally $119.99 now on sale for $79.99 and Chair B was originally $149.99 now on sale for $89.99. Calculate the markdown percent of each chair to determine which is the better bargain. Is it Chair A or Chair B

B.Using the information you calculated in the question above, consider the following. The Furniture Gallery is offering a 15% discount on plastic chair mats with the purchase of either chair. You have chosen a mat with an original price of $29.00. You also decide to purchase a two-year leather protection plan on your chair for $19.95. If you choose the chair with the greater markdown percent and the sales tax in your area is 6.3%, what is the total amount for all your purchases

$143.07

A. To calculate the markdown percent of each chair, you need to find the difference between the original price and the sale price, and then divide it by the original price. Here's how you can calculate it for Chair A:

1. Find the difference between the original price and the sale price:
Markdown Amount of Chair A = Original Price of Chair A - Sale Price of Chair A

Markdown Amount of Chair A = $119.99 - $79.99

2. Calculate the markdown percent:
Markdown Percent of Chair A = (Markdown Amount of Chair A / Original Price of Chair A) * 100

Markdown Percent of Chair A = (40 / 119.99) * 100

Repeat the above steps for Chair B to calculate its markdown percent.

B. To calculate the total amount for all your purchases, follow these steps:

1. Determine the price of the plastic chair mat after the 15% discount:
Discount on Plastic Chair Mat = 15% * $29.00

Price of Plastic Chair Mat after Discount = $29.00 - Discount on Plastic Chair Mat

2. Calculate the sales tax on all your purchases:
Sales Tax Amount = Total price of all items * 6.3%

Total price of all items = (Sale Price of Chair with greater markdown percent + Price of Plastic Chair Mat after Discount + Price of Leather Protection Plan)

3. Add the Total price of all items and the Sales Tax Amount to get the final total amount.

By following these steps, you can determine the better bargain between Chair A and Chair B, and calculate the total amount for your purchases.
