For incentive 1, Kyle would need to purchase the eggs in sets of 3. Since there are 20 eggs in total, he would need to purchase 20/3 = 6 sets of 3 eggs.
Each set of 3 eggs costs $12, so Kyle would spend a total of 6 * $12 = $<<6*12=72>>72.
For incentive 2, Kyle would receive a 20% discount on his entire purchase.
The discount amount would be 20% * $100 = $<<20*.01*100=20>>20.
Therefore, incentive 2 offers a better discount with a discount amount of $20. Answer: \boxed{20}.
Kyle wants to purchase 20 prefilled decorated eggs to set up an egg hunt for his nephews and nieces. Each egg is priced at $5.00, and the store offers two different incentives.
• Incentive 1: Purchase any set of 3 prefilled eggs for $12.
• Incentive 2: Take 20% off your entire purchase
Determine whether incentive 1 or incentive 2 offers a better discount. Find the discount amount. Round the answer to two decimal places as necessary.
