Answer 1

To find out how much Mrs. Hara will save per pair of glasses, we need to compare the prices of the glasses from both companies.

With Company 1, the glasses cost $40 each.
With Company 2, the glasses cost 4 for $140.

To find the price per pair of glasses at Company 2, we divide the total price by the number of glasses in the deal. So, $140 divided by 4 equal $35 per pair of glasses.

Now, we can compare the prices:

With Company 1, the glasses cost $40.
With Company 2, the glasses cost $35.

To find how much Mrs. Hara will save per pair of glasses, we subtract the price from Company 2 from the price from Company 1: $40 - $35 = $5.

Therefore, Mrs. Hara will save $5 per pair of glasses if she uses Company 2. Answer: $5.00
