To determine which products are most beneficial to wait before buying, we need to compare the initial prices of the items with their prices after 6 months. Here’s how we can analyze the given data:
1. Game System:
- Initial price: \[tex]$249
- Price after 6 months: \$[/tex]229
Difference in price = \[tex]$249 - \$[/tex]229 = \[tex]$20
Since the price decreases by \$[/tex]20 after 6 months, it is beneficial to wait before buying the game system.
2. Smartphone:
- Initial price: \[tex]$599
- Price after 6 months: \$[/tex]399
Difference in price = \[tex]$599 - \$[/tex]399 = \[tex]$200
Since the price decreases by \$[/tex]200 after 6 months, it is beneficial to wait before buying the smartphone.
3. DVD:
- Initial price: \[tex]$24
- Price after 6 months: \$[/tex]19
Difference in price = \[tex]$24 - \$[/tex]19 = \[tex]$5
Since the price decreases by \$[/tex]5 after 6 months, it is beneficial to wait before buying the DVD.
After analyzing each product, we find that the price decreases for all three items after 6 months. Thus, it is most beneficial to wait before buying the game system, smartphone, and DVD.
