(a)What is the price of the cell phone when purchased online?
(b)What is the price of the cell phone when purchased at the store?
(c) Which is the better deal?

Answer Below

30% of 160 is 48 dollars. Meaning you would take the 48 from 160. Leaving 112.So the 30% mark up would mean you would pay $112.Saving $48.

Take the 160 dollar,and have the 40% to work with. Taking this would be $64. So 160-64 is $96. They will spend $96 on the phone in-store

Purchase online- $112

Purchase in-store-$96

The better deal is in-store
