HELP PLEASE

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

with what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two stores are having sales on the same shirts. The sale at Store 1 is “2 shirts for $22” and the sale at Store 2 is “Each $12.99 shirt is 10% off”. a. Explain how much will you save by buying at Store 1. b. If Store 3 has shirts originally priced at $20.98 on sale for 55% off, does it have a better deal than the other stores? Justify your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Start by finding out the price of two shirts at Store 2. Do you know how to do this?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

you need to compare how much two shirts will cost at both stores

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and how do you found this sorry im new to this

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the store 2 is selling one shirt at a cost of 12.99*(0.9)=? see how much two will cost you

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

see my last reply

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

find 12.99*(0.9)=?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

that's how much you pay at the store 2 for one shirt for two shirt the amount you find multiply it by 2 and compare which offer is better

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

first the question they already told you that buying from the store 1 is better what we need to know how much will you save if you bought from them

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

12.99*0.9=$11.70 for two shirts the cost is 23.4 if we purchased from store which sells two shirt for $22 we save 23.4-22=$1.4

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

I actually rounded there

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the same try the do the second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i multiplied 12.99 times 0.9 i got 11.691 is it rounded to 11.69?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm its 11.70

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i rounded it to 11.70 the next question you a discount of 55% so that means you pay 45% meaning 20.98*0.45=$9.44 that's for one shirt for two you get 18.88 i leave you to answer the rest
