C) Tablets on sale for $200 (accessories sold at regular price).
D) Buy a laptop ($1,200), get a tablet for free (a $295 value).

Answer 1

The best deal for Ana is Option C, which offers tablets on sale for $200 and accessories sold at regular price (total cost $229.50).

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which of the following sales is the best deal for Ana, we need to compare the prices of the tablet and the case in each option.

Option A offers a tablet at regular price ($295) and a free case, which is valued at $29.50. So, the total cost is $295.

Option B offers 10% off all tablets and accessories. Let's assume the case is $29.50. With the discount, the cost of the tablet would be $295 - (10% of $295) = $265.50. So, the total cost would be $265.50 + $29.50 = $295, the same as Option A.

Option C offers tablets on sale for $200, but accessories are sold at regular price. Since the case is sold at regular price ($29.50), the total cost would be $200 + $29.50 = $229.50.

Option D offers a free tablet with the purchase of a laptop ($1,200). However, the value of the free tablet is $295. So, the total cost would be $1,200.

Therefore, Option C, with a total cost of $229.50, is the best deal for Ana.
