Ashley and Robbin bought identical backpacks at different stores. Ashley’s backpack originally cost $65 and was discounted 25%. Robbin’s backpack originally cost $75 and was on sale for 30% off of the original price. Which backpack is the better buy? Explain.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ashley’s backpack is the better buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to calculate the price that was paid for each backpack after the discount was applied.

Ashley’s backpack: $65*0.25= $16.25

Final price= $65-$16.25= $48.75

Robbin's backpack: $75*0.3= $22.5

Final price= $75-$22.5= $52.5

According to this, the backpack that is the better buy is the one that Ashley bought because after the discounts were applied it cost $48.75 and Robbin's backpack cost $52.2 which means that Ashley's backpack was cheaper.
