It is better to buy the printer from the first distributor. This allows the buyer to save PhP442.66.

Equivalently,

For the first distributor :

Discount series 8/8/5 is equivalent to 1 –0.980.920.92) = 19.592% discount.

Hence, the total discount is 19.592% 5,679 = PhP1,112.30

Discounted price of printer = PhP5,679 – 1,112.30 = PhP4,580.84

For the second distributor:

Discount series 10/5/5 is equivalent to 1 – 0.950.950.90) =18.78% discount.

Hence, the total discount is 18.78% PhP6,000 = PhP1,126.50

Discounted price of printer = PhP6,000 – 1,26.50 = PhP4,873.50

With delivery charge of PhP150,

Final price of printer = PhP4,873.50+150 = PhP5,023.50

Therefore, the first distributor has a lesser price than the second distributor even if the second distributor makes its delivery charge for free.
