Thrifty Supply Store normally sells candy bars for $0.59. Today they are running a special 2 candy bars for $0.99. How much would you save if you bought 10 candy bars at the sale price rather than at the regular price?

Respuesta :

At regular price the 10 candy bars would cost $5.90 (0.59×10=5.90). At the sale price the 10 candy bars cost $4.95 (0.99×5 = 4.95). So you would save $0.95 (as 5.90-4.95 =0.95).
Cost of candy bars at regular price = 
0.59 x 10  = $ 5.9

Cost after discount =
0.99 x 5  =  $ 4.95

The amount that you save = 
$ 5.9 - $ 4.95   = $ 0.95

Hope this helps
