Where is the cake?

at the picnic...

Too much thought going into the next riddle. T looks obvious, but im sure it has something to do with the alphabetical location of the letter and the power factor.

NEXT RIDDLE (In a math mood today):


Tillie went shopping and was happy to get 12% off on her purchases. Her sister went shopping the next day and was disappointed to get only 6% off her purchases and in dismay, went to the store manager and expressed her distress over not getting as big a sale as her sister Tillie. The manager felt sorry for her and said, "Give me your bill and I'll take another 6% off!" The sister agreed to this and went home happy. Which sister got the better deal - or did they get an equal discount?

[Mathster]

the sister that took 12% off the total got the better deal
the other sister took 6% off of 94% of the price.

but we are talking 11.64% vs 12%. but we are talking $0.36 per $100 spent.

I agree with Mathster. The first sister got the better deal.
