To determine which product would be most beneficial to wait before buying, we need to analyze the reduction in prices for each item.
1. Game System:
- Initial price: \[tex]$243
- Reduction price: \$[/tex]229
- Savings: \[tex]$243 - \$[/tex]229 = \[tex]$14
2. Smartphone:
- Initial price: \$[/tex]590
- Reduction price: \[tex]$399
- Savings: \$[/tex]590 - \[tex]$399 = \$[/tex]191
3. DVD:
- Initial price: \[tex]$24
- Reduction price: \$[/tex]16
- Savings: \[tex]$24 - \$[/tex]16 = \[tex]$8
Now, we compare the savings:
- Game System savings: \$[/tex]14
- Smartphone savings: \[tex]$191
- DVD savings: \$[/tex]8
Among these, the smartphone has the highest savings (\$191), which means it has the greatest reduction from its initial price.
Therefore, it would be most beneficial to wait before buying the smartphone.
