To compare these two quantities, it is easiest to assign a starting value for Bart's wholesale price and then calculate each step. Let's assume Bart's wholesale price is $\mathbf{\$ 1 0 0}$.
1. Calculate Bart's Prices (Quantity B)
- Wholesale Price ( $\(W_B\)$ ): $\$ 100$
- Retail Price $\(\left(R_B\right)\)$ : The problem states his retail price is $185 %$ greater than his wholesale price.
- $185 %$ of $100=185$
- Retail Price $\(=100+185=\mathbf{2 8 5}\)$
2. Calculate Anne's Prices (Quantity A)
- Wholesale Price ( $\(W_A\)$ ): Anne pays $150 \%$ more than Bart paid.
- $150 %$ of $100=150$
- Wholesale Price $\(=100+150=250\)$
- Retail Price ( $R_A$ ): Her retail price is $15 %$ greater than her wholesale price.
- $15 %$ of 250 :
- $10 %$ is 25
- $5 %$ is 12.5
- Total increase $=37.5$
- Retail Price $\(=250+37.5=\mathbf{2 8 7 . 5}\)$
