    store 1 price after discount = $3.59

    other store price after discount = $3.63

    total price difference of 100 pens between store is $4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    given data

    buy = 100 pens

    discount at one store = 10 %

    price = $3.99 per pen

    discount at another store = 15%

    price = $4.27 per pen

    solution

    we get here first discount at store one is

    discount = pen price * discount rate ... 1

    discount = $3.99 * 10%

    discount = $0.399

    so price of pen at store 1

    price of pen at store 1 after discount is

    price after discount = $3.99 - $0.399

    price after discount = $3.59

    and

    discount at other store is

    discount = pen price * discount rate ... 2

    discount = $4.27 * 15%

    discount = $0.64

    so price of pen at other store

    price of pen at other store after discount is

    price after discount = $4.27 - $0.64

    price after discount = $3.63

    and

    Price of 100 pens after discount at store 1 = $3.59 * 100

    Price of 100 pens after discount at store 1 = $359

    and

    Price of 100 pens after discount at other store = $3.63 * 100

    Price of 100 pens after discount at other store = $363

    so total price difference of 100 pens between store is $363 - $359

    total price difference of 100 pens between store is $4
