Yes, I am 100% sure that the final price of the better incentive, after the discount has been applied, is $224.25.
To find the final price of the better incentive, we need to compare the discounts from both incentives.
1. 25% Off All Desktops with Regular Price of $200 or More:
The regular price of the desktop computer is $299.
Since the regular price is more than $200, we can apply the 25% discount.
The discount is found by multiplying the regular price by the discount percentage: 299 * 0.25 = $74.75
The final price after the discount is the regular price minus the discount: 299 - 74.75 = $224.25
2. $70 Rebate on Any Purchase of $200 or More:
The regular price of the desktop computer is $299.
Since the regular price is more than $200, we are eligible for the $70 rebate.
The final price after the rebate is the regular price minus the rebate: 299 - 70 = $229
Comparing these two prices, the final price of the better incentive is $224.25.
