Question

I need help! The 20% off sale is a better deal than the $200 rebate or $150 coupon for the $1,500 dining room set. Explain why this is the best deal for them. Are they under budget?

Answer 1

Yes, the Porters are under budget. The 20% off sale is the best deal because $1,500 times 0.20 is $300. $300 is a bigger discount than the $150 coupon and $200 rebate. $300 off $1,500 is $1,200, which is less than the amount budgeted.

Answer 2

See explanation

Explanation:

The 20% off sale is a better deal because 20% off of $1500 will cost $1200. (See work).

However, the 200 or 150 dollars off will cost $1300-1350. Thus, the better deal for the dining room set is to use the 20% off.

If their budget is $1250, they will be $50 under budget because they would be paying $1200 for the set.

Work:

1500 x 20%

1500 x 0.20 = 300

1500-300= $1200

1500-150= 1350

1500-200= 1300
