Store A sells a watch for $50 and offers a 5% discount. Store B sells the same watch for $60 and offers a 20% discount. The sales tax is 6% for both . After discounts and taxes are applied, from which store should you buy the watch and why?
Store A 50*5%=2.5 50-2.5=47.5 47.5+(6%*47.5)=$50.35 Store B 20%*60=12 60-12=48 48+(6%*48)=$50.88 I would but the watch from store A because it would be 53 cents cheaper.
