$$
To find out how much a customer will save per candy bar with the sale, we need to subtract the sale price from the regular price.

Savings per candy bar = Regular price - Sale price = $0.75 - $0.50 = $0.25
So, a customer will save $0.25 per candy bar with the sale.

The plans are the same price for two years.
$24.97 for one year
$24.97 for one year
$45.94 for two years
$45.94 for two years
$74.91 for three years
To find out which plan is least expensive per year, we need to divide the total cost by the number of years.

Unit price per year = total cost / number of years = $24.97 / 1 = $24.97/year
For the two-year plan:
Unit price per year = total cost / number of years = $45.94 / 2 = $22.97/year
For the three-year plan:
Unit price per year = total cost / number of years = $74.91 / 3 = $24.97/year
So, the two-year plan is the least expensive per year at $22.97/year.
To find the unit price for each box, we need to divide the total price by the number of pencils in each box.
For the box with 10 pencils that costs $1.50, we divide $1.50 by 10 to get the unit price. So, the unit price for the 10 count box is $1.50/10 pencils = $0.15/pencil.
Similarly, for the box with 25 pencils that costs $2.75, we divide $2.75 by 25 to get the unit price. So, the unit price for the 25 count box is $2.75/25 pencils = $0.11/pencil.
Therefore, the unit price for the 10 count box is $0.15/pencil, and the unit price for the 25 count box is $0.11/pencil.
