Let's take the REGULAR price of the refrigerator = 100
Yvonne will pay at 15% off the regular price = 85
Alicia will pay 95% of what Yvonne pays. = 0.95 * 85 = 80.75
Qt A
The cost of the refrigerator at 20% off regular price = 0.80 * 100 = 80
Qt B
The price Alicia paid for the refrigerator = 80.75
Qt B > Qt A
Answer B
Yvonne will pay at 15% off the regular price = 85
Alicia will pay 95% of what Yvonne pays. = 0.95 * 85 = 80.75
Qt A
The cost of the refrigerator at 20% off regular price = 0.80 * 100 = 80
Qt B
The price Alicia paid for the refrigerator = 80.75
Qt B > Qt A
Answer B
