Lizbeth Rosales · Answer 1

The location offering the better price is The Framers. It is cheaper by $1.35

Step-by-step explanation:

I've Been Framed:

50% of $115 = $57.5

10% of $57.5 = $5.75

$57.5 - $5.75 = $51.75

Total: $51.75

The Framers:

30% of $120 = $36

$120 - $36 = $84

40% of $84 = $33.6

$84 - $33.6 = $50.4

Difference: $1.35
