Answer 1

2. $2.31

Explanation:

25% off, 75% to be paid

75/100 × 31.5 = 23.625

20% off, 80% to be paid

80/100 × 26.75 = 21.4

18% off, 82% to be paid

82/100 × 26 = 21.32

Highest - Lowest

23.625 - 21.32

2.305

Answer 2

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the price in Store A

`Regular * (1 - Discount) = New`

`31.50 * (1 - 0.25) = New`

`31.50 * (0.75) = New`

`23.625 = New`

Step 2: Find the price in Store B

`Regular * (1 - Discount) = New`

`26.75 * (1 - 0.20) = New`

`26.75 * (0.8) = New`

`21.40 = New`

Step 3: Find the price in Store C

`Regular * (1 - Discount) = New`

`26.00 * (1 - 0.18) = New`

`26.00 * (0.82) = New`

`21.32 = New`

Step 4: Find the difference between the highest and lowest

`23.625 - 21.32`

`2.305`

`2.31`
