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.(1 point)
To determine which store offers the better incentive, we need to compare the final price that Chris will pay for the lamp after the discount is applied at each store.
At Home Highlights, Chris will pay $18.99 for the lamp.
At Lighting Layouts, the lamp is $25 before the discount is applied. After the coupon of 30% off, Chris will pay 30% * $25 = $7.50 less for the lamp.
Thus, Chris will pay $25 - $7.50 = $<<25-7.5=17.50>>17.50 for the lamp at Lighting Layouts.
Therefore, the better incentive is at Lighting Layouts, where Chris will pay $17.50 for the floor lamp.
