Trisha can buy bottles of water in packages of 6 for $16.50 or in packages of 4 for $11.40. How much money does she save by buying 24 bottles of water at the better price?
3 answers
(4 * 16.50) - (6 * 11.40)
16.50/6 * 24 = $66.00
11.40/4 * 24 = $68.40.
68.40 - 66.00 = $__ = Amt. saved.
11.40/4 * 24 = $68.40.
68.40 - 66.00 = $__ = Amt. saved.
oops ... got it backwards
