Answer 1

Answer:

The green rug is more expensive. It costs $11.01 more.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mark down the green rug, subtract 12% from the price:

$\ 54.50-(\ 54.50*0.12)=\ 47.96$

To find the mark up for the white rug, add 16% from the price:

$\ 31.85+(\ 31.85*0.16)=\ 36.95$

Therefore, the green rug costs more. To find how much more it costs:

$\ 47.96-\ 36.95=\ 11.01$
