Cost of computer

by crackgmat007 » Fri May 15, 2009 9:53 pm
Leo can buy a certain computer for p1 dollars in State A, where the sales tax is t1 percent, or he can buy the same computer for p2 dollars in State B, where the sales tax is t2 percent. Is the total cost of the computer greater in State A than in State B?
(1) t1 > t2
(2) p1t1 > p2t2

My rephrase exactly matches statement 2. Why both statements are not sufficient? Is the answer E wrong?
