Answer 1

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

In Company 1, the glasses are sold for $40 each.

In Company 2, the glasses are sold at 4 for $140. To find the price per pair, we divide $140 by 4, which gives us $35 per pair.

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

Therefore, Mrs. Hara will save $5 per pair of glasses if she uses Company 2. So the correct answer is $5.00.
