a box cost $2.48, but it is on sale for $1.49. How much do you save on one box when bought on sale? Now how much would you save if you bought a second box?

Answer:

The answers to both questions are

1. You save $0.99 on the box when it is purchased on sale

This is calculated by subtracting on-sale price from pre-sale price:

$2.48-$1.49 = $0.99

2. Total amount saved when a second box is purchased on-sale price is derived by multiplying the amount saved on-sale purchase by two:

$0.99 x 2 (boxes)

$0.99 x 2 = $1.98

Cheers!

Answer:

1. $0.99

2. $1.98

Explanation:

1. From the question we have

Cost of box = $2.48

Selling price = $1.49

That is the box is discounted from $2.48 to $1.49

Therefore, amount saved = $2.48 - $1.49 = $0.99

2. The amount saved from buying a second box is hence;

2 Ă— $0.99 = $1.98

Hence, as the number of boxes bought increases, the amount saved increases
