Winter Boots Price Comparison Performance Task

Raven needs new winter boots. Both ShoeTown and LaceUp shoe stores carry the boots she wants to buy. The boots are regularly priced $85.95, but both stores are running sales. ShoeTown has the boots marked down 15%. LaceUp has the boots marked down 10%, plus Raven has a $5 coupon she can use on the boots after the markdown is applied.

Raven’s friend Becca tells Raven there is an online shoe store called Run, Don’t Walk that has the boots she wants for only $71.99. If Raven buys the boots in a local store, she will have to pay 7.16% sales tax on her purchase. If Raven buys the boots online, she won’t have to pay sales tax, but she will have to pay $6.50 for shipping.

DIRECTIONS: 1.) Underline important values and words. 2.) Complete the table using the information above. Draw an X in a box that does not apply. 3.) Explain how to determine the sale price before and after tax at ShoeTown and LaceUp, and how to determine the total price at Run, Don’t Walk. 4.) Where should Raven buy her boots to get the best deal? Explain your reasoning.
