-----------
Store A
-----------
Price of Rug = $45

Discount = 10% of $45
Discount = 0.1 x $45
Discount = $4.50

Price after Discount = $ 45 - $4.50
Price after Discount = $40.50

Tax = 6% of $40.50
Tax = 0.06 x 40.50
Tax = $2.44

Price after tax = $40.50 + $2.44 = $42.94

-----------
Store B
-----------
Price of the rug = $46

Discount = $10 off

Price after discount = $46 - $10 
 Price after discount = $36

Tax = 6% of $36
Tax = 0.06 x 36
Tax = $2.16

Price after tax = $36 + 2.16 = $38.16

--------------------
Conclusion
--------------------

If she has only $40 to spend, she should buy from store Bm which cost $38.16 only.
Amount left = $40 - $38.16 = $1.84
