Question

Arthur has taken up roller skating. he can buy a good pair of skates for $79 or rent a pair for $4.00 at the rink. if he plans to go about once a week for a year, how much could he save by buying the skates?

Answer 1

Arthur could save $113.00 by buying the skates instead of renting it for $4.00 for 4 weeks in a month, and 12 months in a year.
4.00 x 52 (weeks) = 208.00
208.00 - 79.00 (buying price) = 129.00
