Question

A box of 24 chocolate truffles cost $28.50 and individual truffle cost $1.50 how much do you save by purchasing a box of 24

Answer 1

You would save exactly 7 dollars and 5 cents because if you do 1.50 x 24 in a whole box it would 36 dollars and if you subtract that from 28.50 you would get 7 dollars and 5 cents. 

Answer 2

`1.50 * 24 = 36 \\ 36 - 28.50 = 7.5`
you save $7.50
