Question

Ms. Costo is shopping for a new car. The salesman tells her the price will be $18,795 before a 10% discount. Ms. Costo isn’t sure she is getting the best price, so she sends Ms. Deele to ask the price of the same car. This time the salesman tells her the price is $17,050. Who is offered the better price? What is the price of the better deal after paying the 6% sales tax?​
