Taryn is shopping for a Christmas tree. At Home Depot the one she likes is $149.00 and she has a 15% off coupon. At Lowe's the one she likes is $175.00 and she has a 20% off coupon. Which store has the better deal with their coupons? How much will she save if she gets the better deal?

Step-by-step explanation:

At home depot

Price of Christmas tree = $149.00

Discount = 15%

Amount discounted = 15% of $149

Amount discounted = 15/100 * $149

Amount discounted = 15 * 1.49

Amount discounted = $22.35

Amount she paid = $149-$22.35

Amount she paid = $126.65

At Lowe's:

Price of Christmas tree = $175.00

Discount = 260%

Amount discounted = 20% of $175

Amount discounted = 20/100 * $175

Amount discounted = 0.2 * 175

Amount discounted = $35

Amount she paid = $175-$35

Amount she paid at Lowe's = $140

From the prices above, it can be seen that Home Depot has a better deal since the price after removing discount is lower than that of Lowe's.

Amount she will save will be $140 - $126.65 = $13.35

all three statements are true

step-by-step explanation:

a shipping fee of 5% is charged online with every item purchased online

first let's just take each option and calculate them based on this, to see if the answers matched

keith buys a 40 dollar book

40 x 0.05 = 2

therefore there will be a two dollar fee on keith's book

40 + 2 =42

the first statement is true

a chair costs $80

80 x 0.05 = 4

80 + 4 = 84

the second statement is true

george buys a 20 dollar calculator

20 x 0.05 = 1

20 + 1 = 21

the third statements are true

all three statements are true
