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)
Home Highlights offers the better incentive, and
the final price Chris has to pay is $18.99.
Lighting Layouts offers the better incentive, and
the final price Chris has to pay is $18.99.
Home Highlights offers the better incentive, and
the final price Chris has to pay is $13.29.
Lighting Layouts offers the better incentive, and
the final price Chris has to pay is $17.50
To find out which store offers the better incentive, we need to compare the final prices after the discount is applied.
At Home Highlights, the lamp is already discounted to $18.99.
At Lighting Layouts, the lamp is $25. With a coupon of 30% off, the discount amount is 30% of $25, which is 0.30 * 25 = $7.50.
So the final price at Lighting Layouts would be $25 - $7.50 = $17.50.
Comparing the final prices, we see that Home Highlights offers the better incentive, and the final price that Chris will pay for the floor lamp is $18.99.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Home Highlights offers the better incentive, and the final price Chris has to pay is $18.99.
