To determine which incentive provides the better final price for a desktop computer priced at $299, we will calculate the final price for each incentive.
Incentive 1: 25% Off All Desktops
- Regular price: $299
- Discount: 25% of $299
Calculating the discount: \[ \text{Discount} = 0.25 \times 299 = 74.75 \]
Calculating the final price after the discount: \[ \text{Final Price} = 299 - 74.75 = 224.25 \]
Incentive 2: $70 Rebate on Any Purchase of $200 or More
- Regular price: $299
- Rebate: $70
Calculating the final price after the rebate: \[ \text{Final Price} = 299 - 70 = 229 \]
Comparing the Final Prices:
- Final price with 25% off: $224.25
- Final price with $70 rebate: $229.00
The better incentive is the 25% off, which gives a final price of: \[ \boxed{224.25} \]
