30% of 200 is what number
What is 60
25% of what number is 80?
320
Store A is selling shoes for 20% off. The shoes you are looking at regularly cost $120 there. Store B is selling the same shoes for 25% off. They regularly cost $130 at Store B. Which store has the best deal?
*Choose the best option for solving this problem*
a. Store B is the best choice because 120+.20(120) is less than 130+.25(130)
b. Store A is the best choice because 120-.25(120) is less than 130-.20(130)
c. Store A is the best choice because 120-.20(120) is less than 130 - .25(130).
c. 120 - .20(120) = 96; 130-.25(130) = 97.5
Choice a is incorrect because you shouldn't add the percent off for a sale. Choice b is incorrect because it multiplies the wrong decimal equivalent for each percent. 20% is 0.20 and 25% is .25.
