Each issues of a magazine cause $6.95 at the supermarket. A 6-month digital subscription cost $30.99. how much does a reader say by subscribing to the digital magazine for 6 months
To find out how much a reader saves by subscribing to the digital magazine for 6 months, we need to compare the total cost of buying individual issues with the cost of the digital subscription.
The cost of buying individual issues for 6 months is 6.95 x 6 = $<<6.95*6=41.70>>41.70.
Therefore, the reader saves 41.70 - 30.99 = $<<41.70-30.99=10.71>>10.71 by subscribing to the digital magazine for 6 months. Answer: \boxed{10.71}.
To calculate how much a reader saves by subscribing to the digital magazine for 6 months, we need to find the total cost of buying issues individually at the supermarket and compare it to the cost of the digital subscription.
First, we need to determine the cost of buying issues individually for 6 months. Since each issue costs $6.95 and there are 6 months in a subscription, the cost of buying issues individually would be:
Cost of buying issues individually = $6.95 x 6 = $41.70
Next, we find the cost of the digital subscription, which is $30.99.
To calculate the savings, we subtract the cost of the digital subscription from the cost of buying issues individually:
Savings = Cost of buying issues individually - Cost of digital subscription
Savings = $41.70 - $30.99
Calculating the savings:
Savings = $10.71
Therefore, a reader saves $10.71 by subscribing to the digital magazine for 6 months.
To calculate how much a reader saves by subscribing to the digital magazine for 6 months, we need to compare the cost of purchasing individual issues at the supermarket with the cost of a 6-month digital subscription.
The cost of purchasing each issue at the supermarket is $6.95.
For a 6-month digital subscription, the cost is $30.99.
To find out how many individual issues are covered by the digital subscription, we divide the cost of the subscription ($30.99) by the cost of each issue ($6.95).
Number of individual issues covered = $30.99 / $6.95 = 4.455 (approximately).
Since we can't purchase a fraction of an issue, we take the next lower whole number, which is 4.
Now, we multiply the number of individual issues covered (4) by the cost of each issue ($6.95) to find the cost of purchasing these issues individually.
Cost of purchasing individual issues = 4 x $6.95 = $27.80
To determine how much the reader saves by subscribing to the digital magazine for 6 months, we subtract the cost of a 6-month digital subscription ($30.99) from the cost of purchasing the individual issues ($27.80).
Savings = Cost of purchasing individual issues - Cost of digital subscription
= $27.80 - $30.99
= -$3.19
The negative value indicates that the reader does not save money by subscribing to the digital magazine for 6 months. In fact, they would spend $3.19 more by subscribing to the digital magazine compared to purchasing individual issues at the supermarket.
