Question

.
Two stores are having sales on cameras.

At Store X all cameras are on sale for 15% off the original price.
At Store Y all cameras are on sale for
1/5 off the original price.
Which store would have the better sale price for a camera with an original price of $80?

Store X, because the sale price would be $68

Store Y, because the sale price would be $64

Store X, because the sale price would be $12

Store Y, because the sale price would be $16

Answer 1

Store X, because the sale price would be $68.

Explanation:
Store X offers a 15% discount on the original price of $80, which amounts to 15% of $80 = $12 discount. Therefore, the sale price at Store X would be $80 - $12 = $68.

Store Y offers a 1/5 discount on the original price of $80, which is equivalent to $80/5 = $16 discount. Therefore, the sale price at Store Y would be $80 - $16 = $64.

Therefore, Store X has the better sale price for the camera with an original price of $80.
