Question 1187634: A stationary pad that sells for Php 18.50 per pad can be bought for Php 150.00 when a dozen pads are purchased at one time. What is the savings per pad, in pesos, when the pads are purchased by the dozen? Answer by ikleyn(52879) (Show Source):
How this problem is worded, it shows that the person who created it, does not know relevant terminology
and is unfamiliar with the way on how such problems should be formulated and presented (probably,
never opened any Math textbook, and got his (or her) mathematical education from reading puzzles).
Simply TERRIBLE formulation . . .
When I see so terrible formulations at this forum, my first and only wish is to call
to Emergency Medical Service for urgent help . . .
I solved it with one single purpose - to remove it from the flow of arriving problems - - -

Below is how this problem should be presented and worded in Math:
A store buys items from supplier at the cost of Php 150.00 per dozen
and then sells them separately to customers at the price of Php 18.50 per item.
Find the profit of the store for any single item sold.
