    You and three friends are planning to shop at various stores on Black Friday to purchase must-have items on sale. Each person has identified an item they want and the document provides the original costs and different discount rates at Stores A, B, and C. You must determine which store offers the best deal for each item when accounting for discounts, sales tax, and early opening times. Working through calculations, you will identify the store that provides the lowest final cost for each item and justify why each person should shop there. Finally, you will determine the optimal first store to visit and arrival time based on the deals and what would most affect your group's shopping plans.
