How much would Janelle save if she saves $10 daily for 25 days instead of $8.60?

• A. $225
• B. $250
• C. $275
• D. $300

Answer: (B)

To determine how much Janelle saves by choosing to save $10 daily for 25 days instead of $8.60 daily for the same period, we start by calculating the total savings for both scenarios. First, if Janelle saves $10 daily for 25 days, we multiply the daily savings by the number of days: \[ 10 \text{ dollars/day} \times 25 \text{ days} = 250 \text{ dollars} \] Next, if she saves $8.60 daily for 25 days, we perform a similar calculation: \[ 8.60 \text{ dollars/day} \times 25 \text{ days} = 215 \text{ dollars} \] To find out how much more she saves by saving $10 daily compared to $8.60 daily, we subtract the total savings of the lower amount from the total savings of the higher amount: \[ 250 \text{ dollars} - 215 \text{ dollars} = 35 \text{ dollars} \] This comparison shows Janelle would save an additional $35 when saving $10 instead of $8.60 daily for the same 25 days. Therefore, the correct answer indicates

To determine how much Janelle saves by choosing to save $10 daily for 25 days instead of $8.60 daily for the same period, we start by calculating the total savings for both scenarios.

First, if Janelle saves $10 daily for 25 days, we multiply the daily savings by the number of days:

[

10 \text{ dollars/day} \times 25 \text{ days} = 250 \text{ dollars}

]

Next, if she saves $8.60 daily for 25 days, we perform a similar calculation:

[

8.60 \text{ dollars/day} \times 25 \text{ days} = 215 \text{ dollars}

]

To find out how much more she saves by saving $10 daily compared to $8.60 daily, we subtract the total savings of the lower amount from the total savings of the higher amount:

[

250 \text{ dollars} - 215 \text{ dollars} = 35 \text{ dollars}

]

This comparison shows Janelle would save an additional $35 when saving $10 instead of $8.60 daily for the same 25 days. Therefore, the correct answer indicates
