Answer 1

First, let's calculate the total cost of buying individual issues for 6 months.

Since there are generally 6 issues in 6 months (one issue per month), the cost of purchasing them individually would be:

$$6\text{ issues}\times 6.95\text{ dollars/issue}=41.70\text{ dollars}$$

Now, we compare this to the cost of the 6-month digital subscription, which is $30.99.

Next, we'll calculate the amount saved by subscribing:

$$\text{Savings}=\text{Cost of individual issues}-\text{Cost of digital subscription}$$

$$\text{Savings}=41.70-30.99=10.71$$

Therefore, a reader saves $10.71 by subscribing to the digital magazine for 6 months.

So, the correct response is:

10.71
