Question

Bananas are on sale this week for 5 pounds for $3.00. Last week they cost $0.75 per pound. What is the savings per pound?

Answer 1

you save $0.15 per pound. To get this answer you need to divide 3.00 by 5 (which gives us 0.60) and then subtract 0.75 by our answer.

Answer 2

so 3.00/5 = 0.60

0.75 - 0.60 = 0.15
