The plaid flannel shirt that you have
wanted for months is now on sale at the mall for $35. Sales tax at the
mall is 7%. Before you leave to buy the shirt, you see an ad for the
same shirt for $30 with a sales tax of 9.5% at a shop 20 miles away.
Decide which shirt is the better buy and tell why. Can you think of one
reason that would make the more expensive shirt a better buy?


Sagot :

The shirt that costs 35.00 is the better buy because even though the shirt is more expensive than the other, it also has less tax. Also the shirt is local which saves you money on gas and wear and tear on your vehicle. In the end the 35.00 shirt is your smartest bet!
