Explain your reasoning.

Answer

Answer:

I would shop at Store A. The 25% discount reduces the $80 price to $60, and the additional 10% coupon reduces it to $54. At Store B, the 20% discount reduces the price to $64, and the additional 15% coupon brings it to $54.40. Store A is the better deal by $0.40.
