Explanation:

The dining set cost $1500.

A 20% off sale present a discount amount equal to

=20/100 x $1500

=0.2 x $1500

=$300.

The 20% off sale has a savings of $300 compared to the  $200 rebates or $150 coupon.

If the Porters budgeted $1,250, and the dining set is $1500, the 20% off sale will require them to pay $1,200, which is within their budget.

Answer 2

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.
