To find out which store offers the better incentive, let's calculate the total costs and discounts at both stores for Katelyn buying two pairs of shoes priced at $45 each.
-
Shoe Land BOGO Event:
- Regular price for both pairs: $45 + $45 = $90
- First pair: $45
- Second pair (50% off): $45 * 0.50 = $22.50
- Total cost at Shoe Land: $45 + $22.50 = $67.50
- Discount amount: $90 - $67.50 = $22.50
-
Everything Shoe:
- Regular price for each pair: $45
- Discount on one pair (30% off): $45 * 0.30 = $13.50
- Sale price for one pair: $45 - $13.50 = $31.50
- The second pair (no discount since only one is discounted here): $45
- Total cost at Everything Shoe: $31.50 + $45 = $76.50
- Discount amount: $90 - $76.50 = $13.50
Now we compare the discounts:
- Shoe Land discount: $22.50
- Everything Shoe discount: $13.50
Difference in discount amounts: $22.50 - $13.50 = $9.00
In conclusion:
- Shoe Land offers a better incentive, and the difference in the discount amounts is $9.00.
