Answer 1

To calculate the savings per pair of glasses if Mrs. Hara uses Company 2, we first need to find out the price per pair of glasses from both companies.

1. Company 1: Sells each pair of glasses for $40.

2. Company 2: Sells 4 pairs of glasses for $140.

   To find the price per pair of glasses from Company 2: \[ \text{Price per pair from Company 2} = \frac{140}{4} = 35 \]

Now we can find the savings per pair by subtracting the price per pair from Company 2 from the price per pair from Company 1: \[ \text{Savings per pair} = 40 - 35 = 5 \]

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

So the correct response is:

$5.00
