To find out how much you would save by buying candy bars at the sale price versus the regular price, we first need to calculate the total cost of 10 candy bars at both prices.
Regular Price: The regular price of one candy bar is $0.59. Therefore, the cost for 10 candy bars would be: \[ 10 \times 0.59 = 5.90 \]
Sale Price: The sale price is 2 candy bars for $0.99. To find the cost for 10 candy bars, we first determine how many pairs of 2 are in 10: \[ 10 \div 2 = 5 \] Thus, you would buy 5 pairs of candy bars. The cost for these 5 pairs is: \[ 5 \times 0.99 = 4.95 \]
Savings Calculation: Now we can calculate the savings by subtracting the sale price total from the regular price total: \[ 5.90 - 4.95 = 0.95 \]
So, you would save $0.95 by buying the 10 candy bars at the sale price rather than at the regular price.
