Lets assume Quantity B, \(200\) is the original price of the dress.
Then the discounted price will be \(200 - 200 \times \frac{20}{100} = 200 - 40 = 160 \text{ dollars }\)
But we know that the dress was sold at a discounted price of \($176\). Therefore, the original price of the dress (Quantity A) should be greater than \($200\) (Quantity B)
Thus Quantity A is the greatest.
Then the discounted price will be \(200 - 200 \times \frac{20}{100} = 200 - 40 = 160 \text{ dollars }\)
