C. Shona can afford the rug in store B. She will have $2.93 left over.
D. Shona can afford the rug in store A. She will have $1.84 left over.

Answer 1

Store A= 45 x .10
 = 4.5 45 - 4.5
 = 40.5 40.5 x .06
 = 2.43 40.5 + 2.43
 = 42.93
  now
Store B = 46 - 10
= 36 36 x .06
 = 2.16 36 + 2.16
 = 38.16
so 40-38.6 that will be 1.84
so correct option is B
