Sam wants to buy a dress as a birthday present for his niece. The regular price of the dress is $45, and he can use either a 25% off the regular price coupon, or $10 off any purchase of $30 or more coupon. Find the discount amount of the better incentive. Round the answer to two decimal places.(1 point)
To find the discount amount of the better incentive, we need to compare the savings from each coupon.
With the 25% off coupon, the discount amount would be 25% of the regular price: 0.25 * $45 = $11.25.
With the $10 off $30 coupon, the discount amount would be $10.
Comparing the two discount amounts, $11.25 is greater than $10.
Therefore, the discount amount of the better incentive is $11.25.
