Answer 1

To determine which store offers the better incentive, let's calculate the final price for the lamp at Lighting Layouts after applying the 30% coupon.

Lighting Layouts:

• Original price: $25.00
• Discount: 30%

First, calculate the discount amount: \[ \text{Discount} = 25 \times 0.30 = 7.50 \]

Now, subtract the discount from the original price: \[ \text{Final Price} = 25 - 7.50 = 17.50 \]

Home Highlights: The price is already discounted at $18.99.

Now, let's compare both final prices:

• Home Highlights: $18.99
• Lighting Layouts: $17.50

Since $17.50 (Lighting Layouts) is less than $18.99 (Home Highlights), Lighting Layouts offers the better incentive.

So, the correct response is:

• Lighting Layouts offers the better incentive, and the final price Chris has to pay is $17.50.
