Question

The 20% off sale is a better deal than the $200 rebate or $150 coupon for the $1,500 dining set. The Porters budgeted $1,250 for a new dining room set. Explain why this is the best deal for them. Are they under budget?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sample Response: 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

Answer:20% off is better and it is the only offer which is under the budget.

Explanation:Given,

The original cost of the dining set = $ 1,500,

If there is a off of 20%,

Then the discount on dinning table = 20% of 1500

= $ 300

So, the final amount of the dinning table after 20% off = 1500 - 300 = 1200 < 1250

Thus, it under the budget.

Now, in $ 200 rebate,

The new cost of the dinning table = 1500 - 200 = $ 1300 > 1250,

Thus, it is not under budget.

While, In $150 coupon,

The new cost of the dinning table = 1500 - 150 = $ 1350 > 1250,

Thus, it is not under budget.
