To calculate the total amount saved when buying five cans of soup with a buy four get one free offer, follow these steps:
-
Cost of one can of soup: $2.99
-
Cost of five cans without any offers: \[ 5 \text{ cans} \times 2.99 \text{ dollars/can} = 14.95 \text{ dollars} \]
-
Apply the buy four get one free offer:
- You pay for only four cans and get one free, so you only pay for four cans.
- Cost for four cans: \[ 4 \text{ cans} \times 2.99 \text{ dollars/can} = 11.96 \text{ dollars} \]
-
Calculate the amount saved:
- Original cost for five cans: $14.95
- Cost after the offer: $11.96
- Amount saved: \[ 14.95 \text{ dollars} - 11.96 \text{ dollars} = 2.99 \text{ dollars} \]
Thus, the total amount saved is $2.99.
