Kyle wants to purchase 20 prefilled decorated eggs to set up an egg hunt for his nephews and nieces. Each egg is priced at $5.00, and the store offers two different incentives Incentive 1: Purchase any set of 3 prefilled eggs for $12. Incentive 2: Take 20% off your entire purchase. Determine whether incentive 1 or incentive 2 offers a better discount. Find the discount amount. Round the answer to two decimal places as necessary. (1 point) Incentive A offers a better discount. The discount amount of this incentive is $B
A being the first answer, and B being the second.
To determine which incentive offers a better discount, we need to calculate the total price for each incentive.
For Incentive 1, Kyle can purchase the eggs in sets of 3. Since he wants to buy 20 eggs, that would be 20/3 = 6 sets of eggs. Each set is priced at $12. So the total price for Incentive 1 is 6 * $12 = $<<6*12=72>>72.
For Incentive 2, Kyle gets a discount of 20% off his entire purchase. The total price of all 20 eggs would be 20 * $5 = $<<20*5=100>>100. With a 20% discount, Kyle would save $100 * 20% = $<<100*20*.01=20>>20.
Comparing the total prices for each incentive, we see that Incentive 2 offers a better discount. The discount amount is $20. So the answer is:
A) Incentive 2 offers a better discount.
B) The discount amount of this incentive is $20.
