Question

Each issue of Soccer World magazine costs $5.99 at the book store. A 6-month subscription costs $24.99. How much can a reader save by subscribing to the magazine for 6 months?

A) $10.95
B) $11.95
C) $19.00
D) $8.95

Answer 1

First, we need to find the amount a reader would pay if they bought a single issue every 6 months. To do this we have to multiply 5.99 by 6.

5.99 × 6 = 35.94

If the reader were to pay for a single issues of Soccer World magazine every 6 months, they would pay $35.94.

To find the difference between the price with and without the subscription, subtract the price with it from the price without it.

35.94 - 24.99 = 10.95

Answer:

A reader will save $10.95 if they subscribe to the magazine for 6 months.
