Esperanza saves $\boxed{\bf \$\ 0.12}$ on each avocado that she bought during a sale.

Further explanation:

The actual price of an avocado is $\$ \ 0.94$ per piece.

And it is given that during a sale, Esperanza buys $5$ avocados for $\$\ 4.10$ .

So, the price of each avocado purchased during the sale is calculated as,

$\boxed{\begin {aligned} \text{Price of one avocado during sale}= \dfrac{4.10}{5}\\\\=0.82\\\end{aligned}}$

Since, it is given that usually an avocado cost $\$ \ 0.94$ per piece then the concession or the discount that Esperanza gets, is obtained as the difference of price of one avocado during sale from the actual price of an avocado.

The tape diagram as shown in Figure 1 (attached below) shows the price of avocados during the usual days and during the sale.

Therefore, the amount that Esperanza saves on each avocado during the sale is,

$\boxed{\begin {aligned} \text{Amount saved by Esperanza on each avocado}&=0.94-0.82\\&=0.12 \end{aligned}}$

Thus, the amount saved by Esperanza on each avocado during the sale is $\boxed{\bf \$\ 0.12}$ .

She save money per avocado = $0.12

Further explanation

Fraction numbers are known as numerator and denominator

On a number line, fractions are expressed in points that lie between two integers

The general form of fractions is A /B

Decimal numbers can be changed into mixed or ordinary fractions

Mixed fractions consist of integers and ordinary fractions

Decimal numbers have numbers in the form of thousands. Hundreds, tens, thousandths, hundredths, tenths and ones

The results of the division of decimal numbers with numbers 10,100,1000, 10000 and so on can be determined by shifting the comma to the left according to the number of zeros

If you divide a decimal number, you try to make the divisor an integer

Decimal numbers divided equally will have the same parts

for usually price : 5 avocados x $0.94 = $4.7

During a sale : she gets 5 avocados for $4.10

so sale price : $4.10 : 5 = $0.82

she save money per avocado = $0.94 -$0.82 = $0.12
