Answer: Hello there!

A 15% discount means that you are subtracting 15% of the total price for some product or service. If the price of the service is X, then you need to subtract 0.15*X and that is your discount, and the "sales price" is X - 0.15*X = X*0.85

Now let's analyze the options one by one.

A) Regular price $680 and sales price = $578

let's prove this: $680*0.85 = $578

This could be a deal offered during a sale.

B) regular price is $1,120 and sales price :$896

Same procedure as before: $1120*0.85 = $952

The discount in this option is greater than 15%, then this option does not apply

C) regular price $340 sales price $289.

Same procedure: $340*0.85 = $289

This ioption does apply

D) regular price $250,sales price: $212.50

Same procedure: $250*0.85 = $212.5

This option also applies.

Then the correct options are A, C, and D.
