To compare the discounts offered by Incentive 1 and Incentive 2, we need to calculate the total cost of purchasing 20 prefilled decorated eggs using each incentive.
Incentive 1: Purchase any set of 3 prefilled eggs for $12.
To determine the total cost using Incentive 1, we need to divide the total number of eggs by 3 to find how many sets are required, and then multiply that by $12.
Total sets required = 20 eggs / 3 eggs per set = 6.67 sets
Since we cannot purchase a fraction of a set, we have to round up to 7 sets.
Total cost using Incentive 1 = 7 sets * $12 per set = $84
Incentive 2: Take 20% off your entire purchase.
To determine the total cost using Incentive 2, we need to multiply the original cost by 80% (100% - 20%).
Total cost using Incentive 2 = $5.00 per egg * 20 eggs * 0.80 = $80
Comparing the total costs:
Incentive 1: $84
Incentive 2: $80
Incentive 2 offers a better discount. The discount amount of this incentive is $84 - $80 = $4.
