Question

Shoe store A is having a sale in which every pair of shoes is 40% off the regular price.
Shoe store B is having a sale in which $40 is deducted from the regular price.

Richard is comparing the price of the same pair of shoes in both shoes in both stores.In both stores, the shoes normally sell for $120. Which store has the better bargain?

Answer 1

Store A because 40% off of 120$ will equal 72.

Answer 2

Store a where there is the 40% off, unless he's buying something less that $100 the percentage will always be the better deal than a solid amount off.
