$ 0.65 more dollars is the price of a box Sophia's original brand of cereal than the price of a box of the super-saving cereal
Amount saved each month with the change in cereal brand if he buys 5 cereal boxes each month is $ 3.25
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that Sophia buys a certain brand of cereal that costs $5 per box
The equation shows the price, y, as a function of the number of boxes, x, for the new brand:
y = 4.35x
<em><u>Part A:</u></em>
New brand, y = 4.35x where y is the price and x is the number of boxes
Original brand, y = 5x since given that cereal that costs $5 per box
If Sophia old cereal preference was $5, and the equation shows that the new cereal preference is $4.35, if I subtract the amount of the new one from the old,
we get , 5 - 4.35 = 0.65
Therefore, $ 0.65 more dollars is the price of a box Sophia's original brand of cereal than the price of a box of the super-saving cereal
<em><u>Part B:</u></em>
Given that if he buys 5 cereal boxes, let us calculate price for old and new brand
New brand, y = 4.35x
New brand, y = 4.35(5) = 21.75
Original brand, y = 5x = 5(5) = 25
Amount saved = $ 25 - $ 21.75 = $ 3.25
Thus amount saved each month with the change in cereal brand if he buys 5 cereal boxes each month is $ 3.25
