Store A: 20% of 1,500
.2 * 1,500 = 300 
$300 off retail price
cost: $1,200

Store B: $150 off
1,500-150= 1,350
cost: $1,350

Store C: $200 rebate
cost: $1,500 but getting $200 back
1,500 - 200 = 1,300
actual cost: $1,300

Store A has the better price.

The store A is the cheapest store.

What is concept?

  • We need to analyze each condition and find the net price after deduction of discounts or cashback.

How to solve the given question?

  1. Store A: 20% off on sale.
  2. So 20% of  1,500 = 0.2 * 1,500 = 300
  3. ∴ $300 off retail price
  4. Net price to customer = $1500 -$300 = $1,200
  5. Store B: $150 off coupon
  6. Net price to customer = $1500 -$150 = $1350
  7. Store C: $200 rebate
  8. Cost: $1,500 but getting $200 back
  9. Net price to customer: $ 1,500 - $200 = $1,300

Thus, the store A is the cheapest store.
