The first store gives the bigger percent discount.
To calculate the percent discount, we can use the formula:
Discount % = (Original Price - Discounted Price) / Original Price x 100
For the first store:
Discount % = (573 - 473.68) / 573 x 100
Discount % = 99.16%
For the second store:
Discount % = (573 - 458.40) / 573 x 100
Discount % = 20.04%
Since the first store has a discount of 99.16%, which is greater than the 20.04% discount of the second store, the first store gives the bigger percent discount.
