    We know from the question that Store A charges $1200 for repairs and 6% as sales tax.

    Then

    Amount of sales tax charged by Store A = (6/100) * 1200

    = 6 * 12

    = 72 dollars

    Then the total amount charged by Store A = (1200 + 72) dollars

    = 1272 dollars

    Now coming to Store B. It charges $1350 for repairs and 7% of sales tax.

    Amount of sales tax charged by Store B = (7/100) * 1350

    = 945/10

    = 94.5 dollars

    Then the total amount charged by Store B = (1350 + 94.5) dollars

    = 1444.5 dollars

    Amount of money saved by choosing Store A instead of Store B = (1444.5 - 1272) dollars

    = 172.5 dollars

    So $172.5 is saved by choosing Store A over Store B.
