A:
Hey! 

We can check which would give us a better price by calculating each final price after the discount has been added: 

Option A): 

$899 - $150 = $749

Option A) will cost $749.

Option B) 

$899 × 0.25 = $224.75

$899 - $224.75 = $674.25

Option B) will cost $674.25

Option C) 

$899 - $75 = $824

$824 × 0.15 = $123.6

$824 - $123.6 = $700.4

Option C) will cost $700.4

Option D)

$899 - $50 = $849

$849 × 0.20 = $169.8

$849 - $169.8 = 679.2

Option D) will cost $679.2

So, Coupon B) $674.25 is the best deal for the computer.
