<span>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.</span>
It could sometimes be proportional. The reasoning here is that if all the items have different prices it won't be, however if the items you are ordering all have the same price they will be!
The <span>Pythagorean theorem</span> is what is most useful here, and a calculator; for the following...
Imagine forming a triangle by creating that last leg between the starting position and the ending position; the length of that side will be our missing variable "y".
600<span>² + 800</span>²= y<span>²
The sum of the two (600</span><span>² & 800</span>²) must then be square rooted to find the length
y² = 1,000,000 and the square root of y<span>²= 1,000 (YOUR ANSWER) "y"</span>
The change of base formula allows you to write a logarithm in terms of logarithms with another base. It follows this pattern,

where a≠1 and b≠1
Assigning the base to be 7,

I hope I was able to answer your question. Have a good day.
