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. (1 point) Incentive offers a better discount. The discount amount of this incentive is
Incentive 1 offers a better discount because it reduces the price from $15.00 ($5.00 per egg) to $12.00 for a set of 3 eggs.
The discount amount for incentive 1 is $15.00 - $12.00 = $<<15-12=3.00>>3.00.
Incentive 2 offers a discount of 20% off the entire purchase. The total price for 20 eggs at $5.00 each is $100.00.
The discount amount for incentive 2 is 20% of $100.00 = $20.00.
Therefore, incentive 2 offers a better discount with a discount amount of $20.00.
