A fish market sells clam choweder in one-quart and one-gallon containers. The price of a one-quart container is $19. 45 and the price of a one-gallon container is $55.95. How much money do you save by purchasing a one-gallon container instead of the equivalent amount in quart containers?

The amount of money saved is $____.

Solution

1 Quart is . 25 Gallon.

So, we need to buy 4 Quarts for equivalent of 1 Gallon

Price of 4 Quart containers = 4 * $19.45 = $77.8

Price of 1 Gallon container = $55.95

Savings = 77.8 - 55.95 = $21.85
