Question

6. Chris can buy an online magazine

subscription for $5.99 per month or
$65 per year. How much will he save
by paying for the whole year at once
rather than one month at a time?

Answer 1

Answer this by using system of equations. Say y=total money spent and x=number of years. y=5.99x and y=65
now set these equations equal to each other
5.99x=65
x=10.851419

Answer 2

$6.88

Explanation:

We are trying to compare two options: Buying a magazine for 12 months or for just 1 year.

To solve this, we can multiply the monthly rate by 12 because there are 12 months in a year.

5.99 x 12 = 71.88

The other option is to just pay $65 dollars for a whole year (12 months).

Comparing the two options, we see paying for the whole year is cheaper than paying for each month individually. Because of this, we can subtract $65, the cheaper option, from $71.88 to get $6.88

Chris will save $6.88 by paying for the whole year instead of purchasing for each month.
