$1.00

$1.50

To determine the difference in sale price between Store A and Store B, we first need to calculate the sale price at each store after applying the respective discounts.

For Store A, the original price is $149.95, and it has a 15% discount. To find the discount amount, we calculate:

15% of $149.95 = 0.15 × $149.95 = $22.4925.

Next, we subtract the discount from the original price to determine the sale price:

Sale price at Store A = $149.95 - $22.4925 = $127.4575 (or rounded to $127.46).

Now, we turn to Store B, where the original price is $139.95, and it has a 10% discount. We find the discount amount here as well:

10% of $139.95 = 0.10 × $139.95 = $13.995.

Subtracting this discount from the original price gives us the sale price:

Sale price at Store B = $139.95 - $13.995 = $125.955 (or rounded to $125.96).

Now, we find the difference between the sale prices from both stores:
