    Part A:

    Phone A has a $8.75 discount

    $175*0.05=$8.75

    Phone B has a $40.00 discount

    $200*0.20=$40

    Part B:

    Phone A is $166.25

    $175-$8.75=$166.25

    Phone B is $160.00

    $200-$40=$160

    Part C:

    Phone B costs less after the discount

    Part D:

    No, sales tax is applied to the discounted/final price, so both prices will increase by 6%. Phone B will still be cheaper.
