To find out how much Mrs. Hara will save per pair of glasses, we need to compare the prices of the glasses from both companies.
With Company 1, the glasses cost $40 each.
With Company 2, the glasses cost 4 for $140.
To find the price per pair of glasses at Company 2, we divide the total price by the number of glasses in the deal. So, $140 divided by 4 equal $35 per pair of glasses.
Now, we can compare the prices:
With Company 1, the glasses cost $40.
With Company 2, the glasses cost $35.
To find how much Mrs. Hara will save per pair of glasses, we subtract the price from Company 2 from the price from Company 1: $40 - $35 = $5.
Therefore, Mrs. Hara will save $5 per pair of glasses if she uses Company 2. Answer: $5.00
To calculate how much Mrs. Hara will save per pair of glasses, we can compare the prices of the glasses at both Company 1 and Company 2.
At Company 1, the price per pair of glasses is $40.
At Company 2, the price for 4 pairs of glasses is $140. Therefore, the price per pair of glasses at Company 2 is $140 divided by 4, which is $35.
To find out how much Mrs. Hara will save per pair of glasses by using Company 2, we subtract the price per pair of glasses at Company 2 from the price per pair of glasses at Company 1.
$40 (Company 1) - $35 (Company 2) = $5
Therefore, Mrs. Hara will save $5 per pair of glasses if she uses Company 2.
To determine how much Mrs. Hara will save per pair of glasses if she uses Company 2, we need to compare the prices of Company 2 with that of Company 1.
Company 1 sells the glasses for $40 each, while Company 2 sells the same glasses at 4 for $140. To find the price per pair of glasses at Company 2, we divide the total price by the number of pairs. In this case, 4 glasses make 2 pairs (since each pair needs 2 glasses).
So, the price per pair of glasses at Company 2 is $140/2 = $70.
To calculate the difference in price per pair of glasses between Company 1 and Company 2, we subtract the price of Company 2 ($70) from the price of Company 1 ($40):
$40 - $70 = -$30
Mrs. Hara would actually pay $30 more per pair of glasses if she uses Company 2 compared to Company 1.
Therefore, the correct answer is $-30, as there is no positive savings.
