The cost per pair of glasses at Company 1 is $40.
The cost per pair of glasses at Company 2 is $140 divided by 4, which is $35.
Therefore, Mrs. Hara will save $40 - $35 = $5 per pair of glasses if she uses Company 2.
The answer is $5.00.
To find out how much Mrs. Hara will save per pair of glasses if she uses Company 2, we need to calculate the price per pair for each company.
Company 1 sells each pair of glasses for $40.
Company 2 sells 4 pairs of glasses for $140. To find the price per pair, we divide the total price by the number of pairs:
$140 / 4 = $35 per pair.
To calculate the savings, we subtract the price per pair at Company 2 from the price per pair at Company 1:
$40 - $35 = $5.
Therefore, Mrs. Hara will save $5 per pair of glasses if she uses Company 2.
To compare the prices between Company 1 and Company 2, we need to determine the price per pair of glasses for each company.
Company 1 sells the glasses for $40 each. Therefore, the price per pair of glasses is $40.
Company 2 sells the glasses at 4 for $140. To find the price per pair of glasses in Company 2, we divide $140 by 4, since we're getting 4 glasses for that price.
$140 divided by 4 is $35.
Now, we can calculate the savings per pair of glasses if Mrs. Hara uses Company 2.
The price per pair of glasses from Company 1 is $40, and the price per pair of glasses from Company 2 is $35.
To calculate the savings, we subtract the price per pair of glasses from Company 2 ($35) from the price per pair of glasses from Company 1 ($40).
$40 - $35 = $5.00
Therefore, Mrs. Hara will save $5.00 per pair of glasses if she uses Company 2.
