While at Top Quality, Jenna sees a smartphone on sale for 1/4 off its list price. Her friend tells her to wait and buy it at Big Value, a discount chain, where the same phone is selling for only 75% of the list price. Should Jenna buy the smartphone at Top Quality or Big Value?

Step-by-step explanation:
A) Let the list price be 't' as given.
∴ Equation 1) If there is a 15% discount then the tablet is selling at 100 - 15 = 85 %
∴ The price of selling the tablet = (85 × t) / 100
As t : 100 % . ∴ 85 % = (85 × t) / 100
∴ First Equation = (85 × t) / 100
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the discount on the tablet is 15 % The selling cost of the tablet would be :- t - ( 15 % of t ) = 85 %
∴ 15 % of t = (15 × t) / 100
∴ Price of the Tablet would be :-
t - [(15 × t) / 100]
∴ Second Equation = t - [(15 × t) / 100]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B) Explanation already done in the above A part.
1) For first equation the cost of the tablet after giving the discount ( 85 % ) has been calculated.
2) For the second equation the list price minus the discount amount is calculated.
Both the calculations give the same answer .
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C) Price of the smartphone at Top Quality = 1 / 4 of its list price = 25 %
Price of the Smartphone at Big Value = 3 / 4 of its list price = 75 %
∴ You would definitely prefer buying the Smartphone with the less price with more discount to save money.
∴ Jenna should buy the Smartphone from Top Quality as it is at a lesser price.
