Determine which of the following is the better incentive offered on a wireless computer keyboard at the regular price of $24.99: 20% off, or a $6 rebate.(1 point)
To determine the better incentive, we need to calculate the savings for each option.
Option 1: 20% off
20% of $24.99 = 0.20 * 24.99 = $4.998 (rounded to $5)
Therefore, the 20% off incentive provides a savings of $5.
Option 2: $6 rebate
The $6 rebate is a flat amount that will be deducted from the regular price, making it the same regardless of the original price.
Comparing the two options, the $6 rebate provides a greater savings than the 20% off. Therefore, the $6 rebate is the better incentive.
Chris wants to replace the floor lamp in his living room. He can get the lamp he wants at Home Highlights at the already discounted price of $18.99, or he can buy it from Lighting Layouts at $25 with a coupon of 30% off. Determine which store offers the better incentive, and find the final price that Chris will pay for the floor lamp after the better discount is applied.
To determine the better incentive, we need to compare the final price that Chris will pay after applying each discount.
Option 1: Home Highlights - $18.99
The lamp is already discounted to $18.99, so no further discount is applied.
Option 2: Lighting Layouts - $25 with a 30% off coupon
30% of $25 = 0.30 * 25 = $7.50
The discount from the coupon is $7.50, so the final price Chris will pay is:
$25 - $7.50 = $17.50
Comparing the final prices, the better incentive is from Lighting Layouts with the 30% off coupon. Chris will pay $17.50 for the floor lamp after the better discount is applied.
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% OffEverything Shoe: 30% Off Any Pair of Shoes $35 or More
To determine the better incentive and find the difference in discount amounts, let's calculate the savings for each option.
Option 1: Shoe Land BOGO Event: Buy 1, Get 2nd Pair 50% Off
Since Katelyn wants to buy two pairs of shoes, she will get the second pair 50% off.
Savings on the second pair: 50% of $45 = 0.50 * $45 = $22.50
Option 2: Everything Shoe: 30% Off Any Pair of Shoes $35 or More
Katelyn can get a 30% discount on any pair of shoes that cost $35 or more.
Savings on each pair: 30% of $45 = 0.30 * $45 = $13.50
To find the difference in discount amounts between the two stores, we need to subtract the savings from each other.
Difference in discount amounts = Savings at Shoe Land - Savings at Everything Shoe
Difference in discount amounts = $22.50 - $13.50 = $9.00
Therefore, Shoe Land offers a better incentive with a difference in discount amounts of $9.00.

Option 1: Shoe Land BOGO Event: Buy 1, Get 2nd Pair 50% Off
Since Katelyn wants to buy two pairs of shoes, she will get the second pair 50% off.
