Solution

Given, video game available in store A and store B at rate = Rs. 750

Store B sells video game on sales offer = Rs. 600

Store A sells video game at discount = 25%

We need to find out at which store is the game least expensive.

⇒ Now, we know x% of `n = x/100 xx n`

⇒ Discount = `25/100 xx 750`

= `750/4`

= 187.5

So, the price of the video game at store A = 750 – 187.5 = 562.5

Hence, at store A the video game is less expensive.
