B Correct answer
Explanation

Discount rate = 9/75 = 0.12 or 12%. Quantity A: Discount at 12% on 90 = 0.12 * 90 = 10.8. Quantity B: 12. Since 12 > 10.8, Quantity B is greater.

AI explanation

First, find the discount rate by calculating (9 / 75) * 100, which equals 12%. Applying this same rate to the marked price of \$90, Quantity A is 12% of 90, resulting in \$10.80. Comparing this to Quantity B ($12), Quantity B is greater than Quantity A.
