Which store offers the better incentive if Katelyn wants to buy two pairs of shoes with a regular price of $45 each? Find the difference in the discount amounts between the two stores. Shoe Land BOGO Event: Buy 1, Get 2nd Pair 50% Off Everything Shoe: 30% Off Any Pair of Shoes $35 or More
Let's calculate the discount amounts for each store:
Shoe Land:
The regular price of each shoe is $45.
For the BOGO event, the second pair is 50% off.
So, Katelyn will pay 50% of $45 for the second pair.
The discount amount for the second pair is 50% * $45 = $<<50*.01*45=22.50>>22.50.
Total discount amount at Shoe Land for two pairs of shoes = $22.50.
Everything Shoe:
The regular price of each shoe is $45.
They offer a 30% discount on any pair of shoes $35 or more.
Since the regular price is $45, this discount applies.
The discount amount for each shoe is 30% * $45 = $<<30*.01*45=13.50>>13.50.
Total discount amount at Everything Shoe for two pairs of shoes = $13.50 + $13.50 = $<<13.50+13.50=27>>27.
Now let's find the difference in the discount amounts between the two stores:
$27 - $22.50 = $<<27-22.50=4.50>>4.50.
The difference in the discount amounts between the two stores is $4.50.
Therefore, Shoe Land offers a better incentive as they provide a greater discount amount.
