To determine which incentive is better, we can calculate the final price of the wireless computer keyboard under both options.
Option 1: 20% off
- Calculate 20% of the regular price ($24.99): \[ 20% \text{ of } 24.99 = 0.20 \times 24.99 = 4.998 \]
- Subtract the discount from the regular price: \[ 24.99 - 4.998 = 19.992 \] Rounding to two decimal places, the final price with the 20% off is $19.99.
Option 2: $6 rebate
- Subtract the rebate from the regular price: \[ 24.99 - 6 = 18.99 \] The final price with the $6 rebate is $18.99.
Comparison:
- Final price with 20% off: $19.99
- Final price with $6 rebate: $18.99
Thus, the better incentive is the $6 rebate, as it results in a lower final price of $18.99 compared to $19.99 with the 20% discount.
