apples are sold at 3 for $2 at busy mart. at big food, the same apples are sold at 5 for $2. kassim buys 15 apples from big foods instead of buys mart. how much does he save?
Big Food: Each apple is $0.40. Fifteen apples = 15 * 0.4 = ?
Busy Mart: Each apple is $0.67 Fifteen apples = 15 * 0.67 = ?
He saves $24.
To calculate how much Kassim saves by buying apples from Big Foods instead of Busy Mart, we need to find the difference in the cost between the two stores.
At Busy Mart, apples are sold at a rate of 3 for $2. This means that each apple costs $2/3.
At Big Foods, apples are sold at a rate of 5 for $2. This means that each apple costs $2/5.
Since Kassim buys 15 apples from Big Foods instead of Busy Mart, we can calculate the total cost for each scenario.
The cost of buying 15 apples from Busy Mart would be 15 multiplied by the cost of each apple, which is 15 x ($2/3) = $10.
The cost of buying 15 apples from Big Foods would be 15 multiplied by the cost of each apple, which is 15 x ($2/5) = $6.
Now, we can find the difference in cost Kassim saves by subtracting the cost of buying from Big Foods ($6) from the cost of buying from Busy Mart ($10).
Therefore, Kassim saves $10 - $6 = $4 by buying 15 apples from Big Foods instead of Busy Mart.
