Answer 1

To determine how much Mrs. Hara saves per pair of glasses if she uses Company 2, we first need to find the price per pair from both companies.

1. Company 1: The price per pair is $40.

2. Company 2: They sell 4 glasses for $140. Therefore, the price per glass from Company 2 is: \[ \text{Price per glass} = \frac{140}{4} = 35 \]

Now we can compare the prices:

• Company 1: $40 per glass
• Company 2: $35 per glass

To find the savings per pair, we subtract the price of Company 2 from the price of Company 1: \[ \text{Savings} = 40 - 35 = 5 \]

Mrs. Hara will save $5.00 per pair of glasses if she uses Company 2.

The correct answer is $5.00.
