Question

a package of 5 sticks of gum sells for 57 cents and a package of 25 sticks of the same gum sells for $2.10. How much is saved on each stick of gum by buying the larger quantity?
(a) 3 cents
(b) 8.4 cents
(c) $1.14
(d) $1.53
(e) $11.30

Answer 1

5 sticks costs 57 cents

that means 25 sticks should cost 57 x 5 = 285 cents or $2.85

but instead it only costs $2.10

so 75 cents is saved for TWENTY FIVE sticks

to get how much is saved per stick divide by 25

what is 75 divided by 25?
