Price of 1 notebook from Shop T in percentage
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of 1 notebook from Shop T at 25% discount
= 75% x 28
=
75100 x 28
= $21
Cost of 10 notebooks from Shop T
= 10 x 21
= $210
Price of the 4th notebook from Shop U in percentage
= 100% - 50%
= 50%
Cost of 4th notebook at Shop U
= 50% x 28
=
50100 x 28
= $14
Cost of 1 set of 4 notebooks at Shop U
= 28 x 3 + 14
= $98
Number of sets of 4 for notebooks at Shop U
= 10 ÷ 4
= 2 r 2
Cost of 2 sets of 4 notebooks at Shop U
= 2 x 98
= $196
Cost of 2 notebooks at Shop U
= 2 x 14
= $28
Cost of 10 notebooks at Shop U
= 196 + 28
= $224
Amount cheaper if Jade buys 10 notebooks from Shop T instead of Shop U
= 224 - 210
= $14
Answer(s): $14
