Question

electric switches that regularly sell for $0.69 each are advertised this week at 5 for $2.75 . how much is saved by purchasing 5 switches at the sale price rather than at the regular price?

Answer 1

So we will be saving a total of $0.7 at new rate

Explanation:

Given:

Original price =$ 0.69

New price = $ 2.75 per 5 switches

To find:

Saving = ?

Solution:

The original per price of the switch is given as = $ 0.69

Discounted price of 5 switches at $2.75

5 Switch price at original price = Original price * No of switches

= 0.69 * 5

= $ 3.45

Total saving at buying 5 switches = 3.45 - 2.75

=$0.7

So we will be saving a total of $0.7 at new rate
