Sariah Levine · Answer 1

DVD is markdown 36% Stereo Tuner at 22%. After the markdown, the cost is $41.6 for DVD and $69.42 for the stereo tuner.

The solution is below:

DVD = $41.6 * 0.36 = $14.98

Stereo tuner = $69.42 * 0.22 = $15.27

Difference = $15.27 - $14.98 = $0.29

The answer is the letter "C" which is "The stereo tuner was reduced by $0.29 more than the DVD player's price".
