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 which store offers the better incentive, we need to compare the final prices after the discounts are applied.
At Home Highlights, the floor lamp is already discounted to $18.99.
At Lighting Layouts, the floor lamp is priced at $25. Applying the 30% off coupon, the discount would be 30% * $25 = $7.50. Subtracting this discount from the original price gives us $25 - $7.50 = $17.50.
Comparing the final prices, we see that Chris will pay a lower price at Lighting Layouts. The final price at Lighting Layouts is $17.50, which is lower than the price at Home Highlights, which is $18.99.
Therefore, the better incentive is offered by Lighting Layouts, and Chris will pay $17.50 for the floor lamp after the better discount is applied.
