Answer:

$3.00

Explanation:

Given that a single subway token costs $2.25, and you want to buy eight tokens, you can find the price of eight tokens if you weren't to buy them from the machine, and compare this value to $15.00 (the price if you were to buy them from the machine).

Take the cost of one subway token ($2.25) and multiply this value by 8.


  • 2.25(8)

Input this into a calculator and you would receive:


  • 18

The price of eight subway tokens if you weren't to buy them from the machine is $18.00.

Compare this value to the price if you were to buy them from the machine; $15.00.

Find the difference between these two values (elsewhere-bought - machine-bought) to see how much money you would save by buying the subway tokens from the machine.


  • 18.00-15.00=3.00

You would save $3.00 if you bought the tokens from the machine, rather than from elsewhere.
