The final price of A \(= 1.2*0.8*B + 5 = 0.96B +5\)
The final price of B \(= 1.1B + 10\)
Regardless of what the initial price of B was, the final price of B is \(0.14B+5\) higher than the final price of A.
We can test using $100 as the initial price of B.
Final A = 101
Final B = 120
Final B > Final A
The final price of B \(= 1.1B + 10\)
Regardless of what the initial price of B was, the final price of B is \(0.14B+5\) higher than the final price of A.
