To find the total amount saved by using the "Buy 4 Get 1 Free" coupon, let's break it down step by step:
-
Price of one can of soup: $2.99
-
Cost for five cans without any discounts: \[ 5 \text{ cans} \times 2.99 = 14.95 \]
-
Applying the coupon: With the "Buy 4 Get 1 Free" coupon, you only have to pay for 4 cans since the fifth one is free.
-
Cost for 4 cans: \[ 4 \text{ cans} \times 2.99 = 11.96 \]
-
Total savings: To find the total savings, subtract the cost with the coupon from the cost without the coupon: \[ 14.95 - 11.96 = 2.99 \]
So, the total amount saved is $2.99.
The correct response is $2.99.
