Question

jesse needs to buy a tablecloth for an event at the local store he can buy 5 table clothe for 25.75 dollars. online he can buy 6 table clothes for 28.20 jesse buys 15 table clothes from the source with lower cost per tablecloth, how much money would he save in total solve

Answer 1

$6.75

Explanation:

1. The local store sells each tablecloth for $5.15:

`25.75 / 5 = 5.15`

2. The online store sells each tablecloth for $4.7:

`28.2 / 6 = 4.7`

3. The second store (online store) is obviously cheaper. Buying 15 tableclothes from the online store costs $70.5:

`15 * 4.7 = 70.5`

4. If Jesse was to buy 15 tableclothes from the more expensive store (local store), he'd have to pay $77.25:

`15 * 5.15 = 77.25`

5. We subtract the price from the cheaper store (online) from the more expensive one (local), which results in $6.75, the amount Jesse saved in total:

`77.25 - 70.5 = 6.75`
