Solution

Video game available in store A and store B at rate = Rs. 750
Store B sells video game on sale offer = Rs. 600
Store A sells video game at discount = 25 %
So, the price of video game at store B = $750 - \frac{25}{100} \times 750 = 750 - 187.5 = R s . 562.5$
Hence, at store A the video game is less expensive.
