D Store M has the best price at $80.00. Store M has the best price at $80.00.

Answer 1

Compute each sale price from $95:

- Store M: 95 − 15 = $80.00
- Store N: 95 − 0.20(95) = 95 − 19 = $76.00
- Store P: 10% off is 9.50, so 95 − 9.50 = 85.50, then −10 coupon = $75.50

So Store P is cheapest at $75.50. Answer: A.
