⚫ Store D offers 1/3 off the price.
• Store M offers 35% off the price.
• Store S offers $15 off the price.
Which statement about the sale price of these sandals is true?
F Store M has the lowest sale price of $14.70.
G Store D has the lowest sale price of $14.00.
H Store S has the lowest sale price of $27.00.
Store M has the lowest sale price of $27.30.



Answer :

Let's analyze the discounts offered by each store:

Store D: Offers 1/3 off the price, which is equivalent to (1/3) * $42 = $14 discount.

Store M: Offers 35% off the price, which is equivalent to (35/100) * $42 = $14.70 discount.

Store S: Offers $15 off the price.

Now let's compare the discounts:

Store D: $14 discount

Store M: $14.70 discount

Store S: $15 discount

Among these, Store D offers the biggest discount at $14.

Therefore, the statement G. Store D has the lowest sale price of $14.00 is true. (We only consider the discount amount, not the final price after subtracting the discount.)
