Answer 1

To determine how much Mrs. Hara will save per pair of glasses if she chooses Company 2, we first need to calculate the cost per pair for both companies.

Company 1:

• Cost per pair = $40 each.

Company 2:

• Price for 4 glasses = $140.
• Cost per pair = $140 / 4 = $35 per pair.

Now, we subtract the cost per pair from each company:

• Savings per pair = Cost from Company 1 - Cost from Company 2
• Savings per pair = $40 - $35 = $5.00

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

The correct response is:

$5.00
