Shona is buying a rug for her room. Store A has the rug for $45 with a 10% discount. Store B has the same rug for $46 and is offering a $10 off coupon. The sales tax is 6% on either purchase. If Shona only has $40 to spend, which store will she purchase the rug from, and how much will she have left over?

Respuesta :

B
Have $1.84
46-10=36
36 times .06= 2.16
Total cost 38.16. 36.00+ tax 2.16
$40.00-38.16= $1.84

Shona should buy a rug from store B and the amount that will be left with Shona is $1.84 ($40-$38.16).

What are Percentages?

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

From Store A,

The cost of the rug = $45

Discount = 10%

The cost after the discount = $45 - ($45×0.10) = $40.5

Hence, the cost will be more than Shona's budget.

From Store B,

The cost of the rug = $46

Discount = $10

The cost after the discount = $46 - $10 = $36

The amount of sales tax on the price = 6%

The cost after the tax = $36 + ($36×0.06) = $38.16

Now, Shona's budget is $40, therefore, Shona should buy a rug from store B and the amount that will be left with Shona is $1.84 ($40-$38.16).
