Question

The wholesale club sells a large box of crackers with 12 reams of crackers for $9.89. Your local store’s box of crackers has 4 reams for $4.29. How much do you save by buying the 12 reams from the wholesale club?

Answer 1

The easiest way to figure this out is by finding out the price for 12 reams at the local store.

4 reams is 4.29 so 12 would be:

3*4.29 = 12.87

Subtract the prices:

12.87 - 9.89 = 2.98

So you save $2.98 by buying from the Wholesale Club.
