Answer:

Sale price of first Mover = $ 152.1.

Sale price of second mover = $ 70

Mowers - R - Us store is economical place.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of first Mover = $ 169 and discount is 10%

Cost of second Mover = $ 210 and the sale is 1/3.

So, the effective cost of first Mover = $ 169 - 10 % of $ 169 = $ 169 - $ 16.9

= $152.1

So the effective cost of second Mover = 1/3 of $ 210 = $ 70

So, the second store is the economical place.
