Magazine subscription problem?

A one year subscription to a monthly magazine costs 15.60 The regular newsstand price is 1.75 per issue How much is saved per issue by paying the subscription you don't get this math problem How do y?

• Answer:

  A one-year subscription means you pay $15.60, and they send you 12 issues of the magazine (one each month for a year). The other way to buy magazines is to go to a newsstand (or a grocery store or a drug store or wherever you can buy magazines). If you do that for 12 months you'll get the same 12 issues as you would if you had signed up in advance for a subscription, but it will cost more. Just multiply 12 times $1.75 to find out how much. It's $21.00. The question wants you to find out how much you'd save if you ordered the subscription. So now find out the difference between $21.00 and $15.60. (Subtract $21.00 - $15.60.) It's $5.40.
