My question is: Sara is checking out two different stores to buy a computer. The first store offers a device for $950 with a 6% discount. The second sells the same computer for 920 with a 5% discount. What is the difference in price between the two stores? Your thoughts:
The amount of discount in the first store 950 x 6 / 100 = $57. So, the device costs 950 - 57 = $893 in the first store. The amount of discount in the second store is 920 x 5 / 100 = $46. So, the device costs 920 - 46 = $874 in the second store. The difference in price is 893 - 874 = $19. The final answer: 19.
