Q: <font color=red> A six pack of soda costs $2.53. A carton of 24 cans costs $7.25. How much will be saved by purchasing the carton rather than 4 individual six packs? </font>


A:


Since a "six pack of soda costs $2.53" and we want to know the price of 4 six packs, this simply means that we multiply the price by the quantity to get {{{2.53*4=10.12}}}



So 4 six packs cost $10.12



Now just subtract the cost of the carton ($7.25) from the cost of the 4 six packs ($10.12):


{{{10.12-7.25=2.87}}}



So $2.87 will be saved if you buy the carton.
