Each issue of a magazine costs $6.95 at the supermarket. A 6-month digital subscription costs $30.99. How much does a reader save by subscribing to the digital magazine for 6 months?(1 point)
To find the savings, we need to compare the cost of buying each issue separately versus the cost of the digital subscription.
The cost of buying each issue separately for 6 months is: 6.95 * 6 = $<<6.95*6=41.70>>41.70.
The cost of the digital subscription for 6 months is $30.99.
Therefore, the reader saves $41.70 - $30.99 = $<<41.70-30.99=10.71>>10.71. Answer: \boxed{10.71}.
To find out how much a reader saves by subscribing to the digital magazine for 6 months, we need to calculate the total cost of buying each issue individually for 6 months and subtract it from the cost of the digital subscription.
First, let's calculate the total cost of buying each issue individually for 6 months. Each issue costs $6.95, and we need to buy it for 6 months. Therefore,
Total cost of buying each issue individually for 6 months = $6.95 * 6 = $<<6.95*6=41.70>>41.70.
Now let's subtract this total cost from the cost of the digital subscription. The cost of the digital subscription is $30.99. Therefore,
Savings = Cost of the digital subscription - Total cost of buying each issue individually for 6 months
Savings = $30.99 - $41.70
Savings = -$10.71.
Since the result is negative, it means that the digital subscription is more expensive than buying each issue individually for 6 months. Therefore, the reader doesn't save any money by subscribing to the digital magazine for 6 months.
