Answer:
We would save $1.52 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
3 the pencil were at sale for 25 cent
1 pencil = 25 cent/3 =8.33 cent per one pencil
5 the pencil were at sale for 29 cent
1 pencil = 29 cent/5 =5.8 cent per one pencil
If we bought 60 pencil in group of 3 for 25 cent
=60/3= 20 pencil
25cents * 20 pencil = 500 cent per 60 pencil
If we bought 60 pencil in group of 5 for 29 cent
=60/5= 12 pencil
29cents * 12 pencil = 348 cent per 60 pencil
From the analysis, the 5 pencil for 29 cent is cheaper are we are going to save: 500-348= 152 cents
