(1) On Saturday, the store had $900 in tire sales, and total tire sales doubled on Sunday.
Sale on Saturday = $900
Sale on Sunday = 2*$900 = $1800
Sale on Weekend = $900 + $1800 = $2700
Rebate = 25% of $2700 = Unique value. Sufficient
(2) For the entire weekend, the store had a total of $2,700 in tire sales.
Rebate = 25% of $2700 = Unique value. Sufficient
The correct answer: D
Hope this helps!
