To find the discount amount of the better incentive, we need to compare the savings from each coupon.

With the 25% off coupon, the discount amount would be 25% of the regular price: 0.25 * $45 = $11.25.

With the $10 off $30 coupon, the discount amount would be $10.

Comparing the two discount amounts, $11.25 is greater than $10.

Therefore, the discount amount of the better incentive is $11.25.
