Question

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

Answer 1

The first incentive offers a 25% off discount on all desktops with a regular price of $200 or more.

25% of $299 = $74.75

So, the final price after the discount is $299 - $74.75 = $224.25

The second incentive offers a $70 rebate on any purchase of $200 or more.

So, the final price after the rebate is $299 - $70 = $229

Since $224.25 < $229, the better incentive is the first one.

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