Which statement about the sales price of the video game is tru

1 answer

Let’s calculate the final price of the video game at each store to determine which store offers the best deal.

Store M: Offers $15 off.
- Original price: $95.00
- Sale price = $95.00 - $15.00 = $80.00
Store N: Offers 20% off.
- Original price: $95.00
- Discount = 20% of $95.00 = 0.20 × $95.00 = $19.00
- Sale price = $95.00 - $19.00 = $76.00
Store P: Offers 10% off and an additional $10 off.
- Original price: $95.00
- Discount = 10% of $95.00 = 0.10 × $95.00 = $9.50
- Sale price after 10% off = $95.00 - $9.50 = $85.50
- Sale price after $10 off = $85.50 - $10.00 = $75.50

Now we can summarize the final prices:

Store M: $80.00
Store N: $76.00
Store P: $75.50

Conclusion:

Store P offers the lowest price at $75.50. Therefore, the true statement is that Store P provides the best deal on the video game.
