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) The final price of the computer after the discount from the better incentive has been applied is $

Answer 1

To find the final price of the computer after the discount from the better incentive has been applied, we need to compare the two incentives.

First, let's calculate the 25% off discount. Since the regular price of the computer is $299, 25% of $299 is (25/100) * $299 = $74.75.

So, the final price after the 25% off discount would be $299 - $74.75 = $224.25.

Next, let's calculate the rebate. The rebate is $70, so the final price after the rebate would be $299 - $70 = $229.

Comparing the two final prices, the better incentive is the 25% off discount.

Therefore, the final price of the computer after the discount from the better incentive has been applied is $224.25.
