Answer:

The green rug is more expensive. It costs $11.01 more.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mark down the green rug, subtract 12% from the price:

[tex]\$54.50-(\$54.50*0.12)=\$47.96[/tex]

To find the mark up for the white rug, add 16% from the price:

[tex]\$31.85+(\$31.85*0.16)=\$36.95[/tex]

Therefore, the green rug costs more. To find how much more it costs:

[tex]\$47.96-\$36.95=\$11.01[/tex]
