Bud came home and told Sue he had seen that there was a big home improvement sale at Breuners. Perhaps now was the time they should buy that new living room set. Sue was not sure they had saved enough yet, so she wanted to know what the total cost would be. Bud showed Sue the newspaper ad: "ALL ITEMS REDUCED BY 40% (if you have the appropriate coupon)!!" The cost of the living room set was $2,550 the last time they looked, and Sue had told Bud that they had saved $1,600 for this purchase. "Great news," said Bud, "we can get it!"

In this section, we will see if Bud and Sue really have enough money for this purchase by looking at discounts, sale prices, and the sales tax that is added after the sale.
