Question

Toby can but T-shirts in packs of 5 for 13.00 or in packs of 2 for 7.22. How much money does he save by buying 30 T-shirts at the better price?

Answer 1

Toby saves 30.30 money by buying 30 T-shirts at better price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of pack of 5 T-shirts = 13.00 money.

Cost of pack of 2 T-shirts = 7.22 money.

Toby wants to buy total T-shirts = 30 T-shirts.

Case 1 :

For 30 T-shirts, If Toby buys in packs of 5 T-shirts then the number of packs he should buy = 30/5 = 6 packs.

The cost for six packs of 5 T-shirts =  6*13.00 = 78.00 money.

Case 2 :

For 30 T-shirts, If Toby buys in packs of 2 T-shirts then the number of packs he should buy = 30/2 = 15 packs.

The cost for 15 packs of 2 T-shirts =  15*7.22 = 108.30 money.

The money saved = 108.30 -78.00 = 30.30 money.

Therefore, The better price to buy 30 T-shirts is 78.00 money.
