Question

The metro train costs $6.30 round trip to ride to work each day. You work 4 days a week (16 days a month). If you can get a monthly pass for $78, how much can you save by buying the pass?

Answer 1

is it multiple choice @Esther_crow

Answer 2

ok so you are spending how much each day?

Answer 3

if you don't buy the pass

Answer 4

Multiply 6.30 x 16, then subtract that by 78.

Answer 5

since you are comparing buying a monthly pass with how much you would spend if a month if you didn't get a monthly pass find out those 2 numbers first. you are given one of those numbers ($78 for a monthly pass), so you need to find out how much it will cost per month without the pass and then subtract that number from 78 to get the difference (aka how much you save)

Answer 6

use multiplication shown above

Answer 7

So an easy equation can be (6.30 x 16) - 78.

Answer 8

$6.30 x 16 = $100.80 - $78 = $22.80 you save $22.80 by using the pass
