What is the sale price at the second store?

Answer 1

Sale price = regular price x (100-% discount)/100 

 

Using the above formula will make this question very easy for you.

 

1st store

Sale price = $450 x (100-30%)/100 = $315

 

2nd store

Sale price = $390 x (100-20%)/100 = $312

 

From this, you can conclude that the 2nd store will have a lower price for the same speakers!
