Two sporting goods stores are having discount sales on basketballs. ​ At one store, a basketball is on sale for 20% off the regular price of $24.95. the other store, the same kind of basketball is on sale for 25% off the regular price of 25.80 . ​ What is the difference between the sale prices of the two stores?

Sagot :

Answer: $0.61

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the retail price of each store by multiplying the normal price by% discount to get a discount - and then opt out.

   store A: 24.95 * 20% (or 0.20) = 4.99 (discount)

                  24.95 - 4.99 = 19.96 (sale price)

   store B: 25.80 * 25% (or 0.25) = 6.45 (discount)

                 25.80 - 6.45 = 19.35

To find the sale price difference, subtract 19.96 - 19.35 = 0.61
