Question

At a local grocery store, Lindsay can buy a 5-pack of candy for $7.50 or buy a 10-pack of candy for $12.50. How much money is Lindsay saving per pack of candy by purchasing the 10-pack of candy?

Answer 1

Answer: She is saving $0.25 per pack by purchasing the 10-pack of candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

7.50/5 = 1.50

12.50/10 = 1.25

1.50 - 1.25 = .25

Answer 2

cost of 5 packs = $7.50

cost of 1 pack = 7.50/5

= $1.50

cost of 10 packs = $ 12.50

cost of 1 pack = 12.50/10

= $1.25

Saving per pack = $1.50 - $1.25

= $0.25
