Pencils that were selling at three for 25 cents are now on sale at five for 29 cents. How much money, in cents, would you save by buying 60 pencils at the sale price

We would save $1.52 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

3 the pencil were at sale for 25 cent

1 pencil = 25 cent/3 = 8.33 cent per one pencil

5 the pencil were at sale for 29 cent

1 pencil = 29 cent/5 = 5.8 cent per one pencil

If we bought 60 pencil in group of 3 for 25 cent

=60/3 = 20 pencil

25cents * 20 pencil = 500 cent per 60 pencil

If we bought 60 pencil in group of 5 for 29 cent

=60/5 = 12 pencil

29cents * 12 pencil = 348 cent per 60 pencil

From the analysis, the 5 pencil for 29 cent is cheaper are we are going to save: 500-348 = 152 cents
