Each issue of a magazine costs $6.95 at the supermarket. A 6-month digital subscription costs $30.99. How much does a reader save by subscription the digital magazine for 6 months?

Answer 1

To find out how much a reader saves by subscribing to the digital magazine for 6 months, we first need to determine the cost of purchasing the magazine issues individually.

1. Each issue costs $6.95.
2. For 6 months, the total number of issues would be 6.
3. So, the total cost for 6 individual issues would be: \[ 6 \times 6.95 = 41.70 \]

Now, let’s compare this to the cost of the 6-month digital subscription:

• The cost of the digital subscription is $30.99.

Now, we can calculate the savings:

1. Subtract the cost of the digital subscription from the cost of the individual issues: \[ 41.70 - 30.99 = 10.71 \]

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