To find the final price of the desktop computer after the discount has been applied, we need to compare the two incentives and see which one provides a better deal.
25% Off All Desktops with a Regular Price of $200 or More:
25% of $299 = $299 * 0.25 = $74.75 discount
$299 - $74.75 = $224.25 final price after the discount
$70 Rebate on Any Purchase of $200 or More:
$299 - $70 = $229 final price after the rebate
We can see that the final price after the discount is $224.25, which is lower than $229 after the rebate. Therefore, the better incentive is the 25% off discount, which gives a final price of $224.25.
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.
