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) The discount amount of the better incentive is $.
To find the better incentive, we need to calculate the final price with each discount and compare them.
With the 25% off coupon, the discount amount is 25% * $45 = $11.25. Therefore, the final price would be $45 - $11.25 = $33.75.
With the $10 off coupon, the final price would be $45 - $10 = $35.
Therefore, the better incentive is the 25% off coupon, with a discount amount of $11.25.
