Answer:

Price of DVD at Store A = $ 94.5

Price of DVD at Store B = $ 95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Price of DVD player = $ 100

Sales Tax = 5%

Now, lets calculate price of of DVD player at store A

The price of DVD player at store A after 10% discount = 100 - 10% of 100

The price of DVD player at store A after 10% discount= 100 - 0.1x100

The price of DVD player at store A after 10% discount= 100 - 10 = $90

Price of DVD player at store A after sales tax = 90 + 5% of 90

Price of DVD player at store A after sales tax = 90 + 0.05x90

Price of DVD player at store A after sales tax = 90 + 4.5

Price of DVD player at store A after sales tax = $94.5

Now, lets calculate price of of DVD player at store B.

The price of DVD player at store B= 100

Price of DVD player at store B after sales tax = 100 + 5% of 100

Price of DVD player at store B after sales tax = 100 + 0.05x100

Price of DVD player at store B after sales tax = 100 + 5

Price of DVD player at store B after sales tax = $ 105

Price of DVD player at store B $10 rebate = 105 - 10

Price of DVD player at store B $10 rebate = $95
