Question

You go to the wholesale club and buy a large bag of 12 smaller chip bags at $10.50. At your local store, the individual chip bags cost 0.99/bag. How much do you save per dozen bags by buying in bulk?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that the bulk chips has a total of 10.50

The individual cost 0.99 each

To compare both

Multiply 0.99 by 12

`0.99 x 12 =11.88`

The bulk chips ae 10.50

11.88 is more than 10.50

Hence purchasing in bulk is cheaper by 1.38 dollars.

To find the difference we subtract

10.50 from 11.88

`11.88-10.50 = 1.38`

Answer 2

$1.38

OR 11.5 cents per bag

Ok lets start

the bulk chips has a total of 10.50

the individual cost 0.99 each

Multiply 0.99 by 12 so everything is fair

0.99 x 12 =11.88

The bulk chips ae 10.50

To find the difference we subtract

10.50 from 11.88 (remember, 10.50 is the cost of buying in bulk!)

11.88-10.50 = 1.38

divide 1.38 by 12

We save $1.38 by buying in bulk or

11.5 cents per bag by buying bulk

Hope this answers your question,
