Solution

To answer this question, we need to calculate the sale price of the dress at each store.

  1. Store R: They are offering a 15% discount. To calculate this, we multiply the original price by the discount rate (65 * 0.15 = 9.75). We then subtract this amount from the original price (65 - 9.75 = 55.25).So,thedressatStoreRwouldcost55.25). So, the dress at Store R would cost 55.25.

  2. Store S: They are offering a 10offcoupon.Tocalculatethis,wesimplysubtractthecouponvaluefromtheoriginalprice(6510=10 off coupon. To calculate this, we simply subtract the coupon value from the original price (65 - 10 = 55). So, the dress at Store S would cost $55.

  3. Store T: They are offering a 1/4 discount. To calculate this, we multiply the original price by the discount rate (65 * 0.25 = 16.25). We then subtract this amount from the original price (65 - 16.25 = 48.75).So,thedressatStoreTwouldcost48.75). So, the dress at Store T would cost 48.75.

From these calculations, we can see that the dress is cheapest at Store T.
