Answer:

Price of the individual magazine at the store is $ 4.99

Solution:

Given that one-year (52-week) subscription to a weekly magazine is $39.95

Greg calculates that he would save $219.53 if he subscribed to the magazine instead of purchasing it each week at the store

To find: price of the individual magazine at the store

Price of the individual magazine at the store can be calculated by adding the price of one year subscription to a weekly magazine and price saved by Greg and then divide by 52 (since 1 year = 52 week )

$\rightarrow 39.95 + 219.53 = 259.48$

Let us divide the above value by 52 to get price of the individual magazine at the store

$\text{ price of the individual magazine at the store } = 259.48 \div 52$

$\rightarrow \frac{259.48}{52} = 4.99$

So price of the individual magazine at the store is $ 4.99
