Debra is looking for the best deal on a laptop that regularly costs \( \$ 749 \). Help her compare the price of the laptop at a store with the price on the store's website by completing the following. (a) The store is having a sale, offering a \( 60 \% \) discount off the regular price of the laptop. Debra also has a coupon for an additional \( 20 \% \) off the sale price. Ignoring tax, how much would she pay for the laptop at the store? (b) The store's website is offering the laptop at a \( 80 \% \) discount off the regular price. But Debra's coupon is in-store only. It cannot be used for purchases on the website. Ignoring tax and shipping, how much would she pay for the laptop on the store's website?

To find out how much Debra would pay for the laptop, we'll break it down step-by-step for both scenarios. (a) First, we calculate the price after the \(60\%\) discount. The discount amount is: \[ 749 \times 0.60 = 449.40 \] Then, we subtract that from the regular price: \[ 749 - 449.40 = 299.60 \] Next, we apply the additional \(20\%\) discount on the sale price: \[ 299.60 \times 0.20 = 59.92 \] Finally, subtract that from the sale price: \[ 299.60 - 59.92 = 239.68 \] So, Debra would pay \( \$ 239.68 \) at the store. (b) For the website, we calculate the price after the \(80\%\) discount. The discount amount is: \[ 749 \times 0.80 = 599.20 \] Then, we subtract that from the regular price: \[ 749 - 599.20 = 149.80 \] So, Debra would pay \( \$ 149.80 \) on the store's website. In summary, Debra pays \( \$ 239.68 \) at the store and \( \$ 149.80 \) on the website. Happy shopping!
