Find the final price that Mrs. Diaz has to pay for the whiteboard after the better incentive is applied. Round the answer to two decimal places.(1 point)
The final price that Mrs. Diaz has to pay for the whiteboard using the better incentive is $
Option 1:
Original price = $49.99

Option 2:
Original price = $47.99
Rebate = $10
Final price = 47.99 - 10 = $37.99
Comparing the final prices, Mrs. Diaz has to pay $37.99 for the whiteboard after applying the better incentive.
