Question

Footballs sell for $27.99 each at Dicks Sporting Goods and $21.59 each at Big 5. If the coach buys a dozen footballs, how much can he save by buying them at Big 5

Answer 1

Answer:

The money he can save by buying them at Big 5 is $76.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Footballs sell for $27.99 each at Sporting Goods.

Footballs sell for $21.59 each at Big 5.

The coach buys a dozen footballs.

Now, to find the amount he save by buying them at Big 5.

So, first we find the cost of footballs at Sporting Goods and at Big 5.

1 Dozen = 12 pieces.

Thus, the cost of footballs at Sporting Goods =

$\ 27.99\times 12 =\ 335.88$

And, the cost of footballs at Big 5 =

$\ 21.59\times 12=\ 259.08.$

Now, to get the amount coach can save by buying them at Big 5, we subtract both the cost as the cost of Sporting Goods is more than the Cost of Big 5:

The amount coach can save by buying them at Big 5 =

$\ 335.88-\ 259.08=\ 76.80.$

Therefore, the amount he can save by buying them at Big 5 is $76.80.
