Consider the following two monetary incentives when purchasing a desktop computer at the regular price of $299. 25% Off All Desktops with Regular Price of $200 or More. $70 Rebate on Any Purchase of $200 or More. Find the final price of the better incentive, after the discount has been applied. Round the answer to two decimal places.(1 point)
To find the final price after the discount has been applied, we need to calculate 25% off $299.
25% of $299 is (25/100) * $299 = $74.75 off.
$299 - $74.75 = $224.25.
Therefore, the final price of the desktop computer with the 25% off incentive is $224.25.
Now let's consider the $70 rebate incentive.
The final price after the rebate is the regular price of $299 minus the $70 rebate.
$299 - $70 = $229.
Therefore, the final price of the desktop computer with the $70 rebate incentive is $229.
Comparing the two prices, the final price of the better incentive is $224.25 after the 25% off discount has been applied.
