Question

Normally peaches are 30 cents each. Today peaches are on sale for 5 for $ 1. If you buy 15 peaches at the sale price, how much have you saved?

Answer 1

Save $1.50

Explanation:

1. Find the sale unit price by dividing the total price by the amount (1.00/5 = 0.20)

2. multiply .30 by 15 = 4.50 (original price)

3. multiply .20 by 15= 3.00 (sale price)

4. subtract the sale price from the original price (4.50-3.00=1.50)
