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)

1 answer

To find the final price of the better incentive, we need to compare the discounts offered by each incentive.

1. 25% Off All Desktops with Regular Price of $200 or More:
The regular price of the desktop computer is $299. Since it is more than $200, we can apply a 25% discount.
Discount = 25% * $299 = $74.75
Final price = $299 - $74.75 = $224.25

2. $70 Rebate on Any Purchase of $200 or More:
The regular price of the desktop computer is $299. Since it is more than $200, we can apply a $70 rebate.
Final price = $299 - $70 = $229

Therefore, the better incentive results in a final price of $224.25.
