Question

Alice likes to have wine with her dinner on Friday and Saturday night. She usuallybuys two bottles of wine for the weekend. She really needs to cut back on spending.She decides to buy only one bottle per week. On average a bottle of wine costs $15.How much does she save in one year?

Answer 1

Alice decides to buy only one bottle per week, instead of two. That means that she is saving half of her last expenses. There are 52 weeks in one year, so the savings can be calculated as:

Savings = (# of weeks) * (average cost of a bottle of wine)

We know that a bottle of wine costs $15 on average, so:

Savings = 52*15

Savings = $780
