Jim wants to buy some new shoes. a local shoe shop has a pair for $59.95 with a 10% discount. another shop has the same pair for $75.99 with a 25% discount. determine the amount of the lower price.

First option: The adjusted price of this item is 90% of the original price due to the 10% discount.
         
                   Price = ($59.95)(0.90) 
                    Price = $53.955

Second option: The adjusted price is 75% of the original price because of the discount amounting to 25% of the original price.
              
                  Price = ($75.99)(0.75)
                  Price = $56.99

Hence, the lower price is from the first choice.

$53.96
