Question

Daniel has a coupon for $1.44 off

name-brand flour that usually costs
$9.12. The store-brand flour costs $8.86.
How much will Daniel save by using his
coupon to buy the name-brand flour,
instead of buying the store-brand?

I’m mostly struggling with the problem steps part I can do the first parts but then the other steps I struggle with.

Answer 1

Daniel will save $1.18

Explanation:

First, find the cost of the name-brand flour with the coupon:

Subtract 1.44 from the original price of 9.12:

9.12 - 1.44

= 7.68

So, the price of the name-brand flour with the coupon is $7.68

Now, find how much he will save by finding the difference between this price and the price of the store brand flour:

8.86 - 7.68

= 1.18

So, Daniel will save $1.18
