Answer:

Watson's garden shop has the better deal on the lawn mower.

Hope this helped :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Watson's $130 - 50% = $65

Hartman's $130 - 40% = $78

Answer:

The deal of Watson’s garden shop is better.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original price = $ 130,

After 50% off,

The new price would be,

[tex]P_1=130\times \frac{(100-50)}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{130\times 50}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{6500}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\$ 65[/tex]

While, after 40% off then additional 15% off,

The new price would be,

[tex]P_2= 130\times \frac{(100-40)}{100}\times \frac{(100-15)}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=130\times \frac{60}{100}\times \frac{85}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{663000}{10000}[/tex]

[tex]=\$ 66.30[/tex]

∵ 66.30 > 65

Hence, first deal is better.
