Q. Jane can buy daffodil bulbs in packages of 3 for $7.17 or in packages of 2 for $5.64. How much money does she save by buying 6 bulbs at the better price? $□
Calculate cost of 6 bulbs: Calculate the cost of 6 bulbs in packages of 3. 3 bulbs cost $7.17, so 6 bulbs cost 2 * $7.17. 2 * $7.17 = $14.34
Calculate cost of 6 bulbs: Calculate the cost of 6 bulbs in packages of 2. 2 bulbs cost $5.64, so 6 bulbs cost \(3 * $5.64\). \(3 * $5.64 = $16.92\)
Find cost difference: Find the difference in cost.$16.92−$14.34=$2.58
