A machine produced 85,700 glass bottles on Friday. It produced 12,420 fewer bottles on Saturday than on Friday. Of the bottles produced on Saturday, 951 had cracks and were sent for recycling. The rest of the bottles from the two days were sold. How many bottles were sold in all?

There were 158,029 bottles sold. 

Explanation: 

85,700 - 12,420 = 73,280 bottles produced on Saturday. 951 were broken. 

73,280 - 951 = 72,329 bottles were useable from Saturday's production

85,700 + 72,329 = 158,029 bottles were sold in all from Friday and Saturday.

Andy can buy bottles of water in packages of 6 for $13.50 or in packages of 4 for $10.72. 

How much money does he save by buying 24 bottles of water at the better price?

Step 1:   Find how many packages of 6 would be needed.

24 ÷ 6 = 4

Step 2:   Find the cost using packages of 6.

4 × $13.50 = $54.00

Step 3:   Find how many packages of 4 would be needed.

24 ÷ 4 = 6

Step 4:   Find the cost using packages of 4.

6 × $10.72 = $64.32

Step 5:   Subtract the better price from the other price.

$64.32 − $54.00 = $10.32


He will save $10.32.
