GRE Quantitative Reasoning QUESTION #8108
Question 1

In a certain shop, notebooks that normally sell for 59 cents each are on sale at 2 for 99 cents. How much can be saved by purchasing 10 of these notebooks at the sale price?

  • $\$0.85$
  • $\$0.95$✔️
  • $\$1.10$
  • $\$1.15$
Correct Answer Explanation

Normal price for 10 notebooks: $10 \times 59\text{¢} = 590\text{¢} = \$5.90$

Sale: 2 notebooks for 99¢, so 10 notebooks cost $5 \times 99\text{¢} = 495\text{¢} = \$4.95$

Savings $= \$5.90 - \$4.95 = \$0.95$
