Answer 1

Answer: 3/4 of the original price.

Explanation:

Ok, so Sam buys 4 boxes in Store A.

We know that in Store A you can get 4 boxes paying only for 3.

If P is the price of a Box, then he got 4 boxes and paid 3*P

then the amount that he paid for each box is equal to the total amount that he paid divided the number of boxes that he received.

this is: 3P/4 = (3/4)*P

Meaning that he paid 3/4 of the original price for each box.
