Let's calculate the total cost and discount amounts for both stores.
Shoe Land BOGO Event: Buy 1, Get 2nd Pair 50% Off
- Regular Price of each pair: $45
- First pair price = $45
- Second pair price (50% off) = $45 * 0.5 = $22.50
- Total Cost = First pair + Second pair = $45 + $22.50 = $67.50
- Total Discount = Regular Price for both pairs - Total Cost = (2 * $45) - $67.50 = $90 - $67.50 = $22.50
Everything Shoe: 30% Off Any Pair of Shoes $35 or More
- Regular Price of each pair: $45
- Discount on each pair = 30% of $45 = 0.30 * $45 = $13.50
- Price after discount for each pair = $45 - $13.50 = $31.50
- Total Cost = Price after discount for both pairs = $31.50 + $31.50 = $63
- Total Discount = Regular Price for both pairs - Total Cost = (2 * $45) - $63 = $90 - $63 = $27
Now, let's compare the discounts:
- Shoe Land Discount = $22.50
- Everything Shoe Discount = $27
The difference in the discount amounts = Everything Shoe Discount - Shoe Land Discount = $27 - $22.50 = $4.50.
Based on this calculation, the correct answer is: Everything Shoe offers a better incentive, and the difference in the discount amounts is $4.50.
