Strict interpretation (must fall between $650 and $780): none of the options fit.
- A = $618 (below range)
- B = $950 (above range)
- C = $600 (below range)

If you instead mean "no more than $780" (i.e., up to $780), then Options A and C meet that.

Option that requires at least $24,000 saved: Option A (up‑front cost $24,000).
