To find the total amount saved when buying five cans of soup at $2.99 each using a "Buy 4 Get 1 Free" coupon, follow these steps:
-
Calculate the total cost of five cans without the coupon: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 5 \times 2.99 = 14.95 \]
-
With the "Buy 4 Get 1 Free" coupon, you only pay for 4 cans: \[ \text{Cost for 4 cans} = 4 \times 2.99 = 11.96 \]
-
The amount saved is the cost of the free can: \[ \text{Amount Saved} = \text{Cost of 1 can} = 2.99 \]
Therefore, the total amount saved by using the coupon is $2.99.
