Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
At home depot
Price of Christmas tree = $149.00
Discount = 15%
Amount discounted = 15% of $149
Amount discounted = 15/100 * $149
Amount discounted = 15 * 1.49
Amount discounted = $22.35
Amount she paid = $149-$22.35
Amount she paid = $126.65
At Lowe's:
Price of Christmas tree = $175.00
Discount = 260%
Amount discounted = 20% of $175
Amount discounted = 20/100 * $175
Amount discounted = 0.2 * 175
Amount discounted = $35
Amount she paid = $175-$35
Amount she paid at Lowe's = $140
From the prices above, it can be seen that Home Depot has a better deal since the price after removing discount is lower than that of Lowe's.
Amount she will save will be $140 - $126.65 = $13.35
