Well, i have the answer to your question:

dealership A : 500 cash back , 5% tax
Becky : 15,000 + 0.05(15000) - 500 = 15,000 + 750 - 500 = 15,250
Michele : 20,000 + 0.05(20,000) - 500 = 20,000 + 1000 - 500 = 20500

dealership B : 1000 cash back, 8% tax
Becky : 15,000 + 0.08(15,000) - 1000 = 15000 + 1200 - 1000 = 15,200
Michele : 20,000 + 0.08(20,000) - 1000 = 20,000 + 1600 - 1000 = 20600

1. Becky will get the better deal at dealership B.....she saves 50 bucks
2. Michele will get the better deal at dealership A...she saves 100 bucks
