Answer:
1. $0.99
2. $1.98
Step-by-step explanation:
1. From the question we have
Cost of box = $2.48
Selling price = $1.49
That is the box is discounted from $2.48 to $1.49
Therefore, amount saved = $2.48 - $1.49 = $0.99
2. The amount saved from buying a second box is hence;
2 × $0.99 = $1.98
Hence, as the number of boxes bought increases, the amount saved increases
Answer:
The answers to both questions are
1. You save $0.99 on the box when it is purchased on sale
This is calculated by subtracting on-sale price from pre-sale price:
$2.48-$1.49 = $0.99
2. Total amount saved when a second box is purchased on-sale price is derived by multiplying the amount saved on-sale purchase by two:
$0.99 x 2 (boxes)
$0.99 x 2 = $1.98
Cheers!
