Two stores carry a similar stereo for the same original price of $573. One store offers a 16% discount and the second store sells the stereo for $458.40. Which store gives the bigger percent discount? Justify your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

  the second store

Step-by-step explanation:

The price change at the second store is ...

  (458.40 -573)/573 × 100% = -114.60/573 × 100% = -20%

Since the second store gives a discount of 20% and the first store gives a discount of 16%, the second store gives the bigger percent discount.
