To determine which store offers the better incentive and the final price Chris will pay, we need to compare the prices from both stores.
-
Home Highlights: The price is already discounted to $18.99.
-
Lighting Layouts: The original price is $25, and there is a coupon for 30% off. To calculate the final price, we first need to determine how much the discount is:
-
Calculate the amount of the discount: \[ \text{Discount} = 25 \times 0.30 = 7.50 \]
-
Subtract the discount from the original price to find the final price: \[ \text{Final Price} = 25 - 7.50 = 17.50 \]
-
Now we compare the final prices from both stores:
- Home Highlights: $18.99
- Lighting Layouts: $17.50
Since $17.50 is less than $18.99, Lighting Layouts offers the better incentive.
Thus, the correct response is: Lighting Layouts offers the better incentive, and the final price Chris has to pay is $17.50.
