Question

A coach from a basketball team wants to buy new shoes for her 12 players super sport is offering a 20% discount on each pair of shoes which were originally priced $72.50 a 6.5% sales tax will be applied to the discount price the same shoes are also available on Double Dribble website for $54.75 a 9% discount price processing fee will be applied to the cost of the shoe plus a shipping fee of 599 for each pair what is the difference in the total cost of 12 pairs of shoes between the two stores

Answer 1

We solve the amount for the first store.
Discounted amount=$72.50 - ($72.50*20%)=$58
Multiplied by 12 players and sales tax of 6.5%=($58*12)+(($58*12)*0.065=$741.24
For the first store, the amount is $741.24

We solve for the amount in the second store
Amount=$54.75-($54.75*0.09)=$49.8225
For 12 players plus shipping fee= 12*$49.8225=$597.87+599=$1,196.787

The difference between the two store is $455.547.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here are the calculations for Super Sport:

[12 ($72.50 x 0.8)] 1.065 = $741.24

Here is the math for Double Dribbles:

[12($54.75 x 1.09)] + (12 x $5.99) = $788.01

$788.01 - $741.24 = $46.77

The difference in price is $46.77.
