Answer:

Store A offers the least amount for the sofa

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of sofa =$500

For store A

Discount =20% off

The amount of the discount is

=20/100*500

=0.2*500

=$100

6.5% sales tax

The amount of tax is

=6.5/100*500

=0.065*500

=$32.5

Total cost of the sofa

=500-100+32.5

=400+32.5

=$432.5

For store B

Discount =30% off

The amount of the discount is

=30/100*500

=0.3*500

=$150

Shipping fee $85

Total cost of sofa

=500-150+85

=350+85

=$435
