Shona is buying a rug for her room. store a has the rug for $45 with a 10% discount. store b has the same rug for $46 and is offering a $10 off coupon. the sales tax is 6% on either purchase. if shona only has $40 to spend, which store will she purchase the rug from, and how much will she have left over?

Store A= 45 x .10 = 4.5 45 - 4.5 = 40.5 40.5 x .06 = 2.43 40.5 + 2.43 = 42.93  nowStore B = 46 - 10 = 36 36 x .06 = 2.16 36 + 2.16 = 38.16so 40-38.6 that will be 1.84so correct option is B hope it helps

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (gdp) and other macroeconomic variables. a business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. the duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. but the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.
