Sue buys a certain brand of cereal that costs $12 per box. Sue changes to a super-saving brand of the same size. The equation shows the price, y, as a function of the number of boxes, x, for the new brand. y = 8x How much money does Sue save each month with the change in cereal brand if she buys 4 cereal boxes each month?

y = 12x......y = 12(4).....y = 48.....so she pays $ 48 for the old brand when buying 4 boxes

y = 8x...y = 8(4)......y = 32...so she pays $ 32 for the brand she changed to, when buying 4 boxes

so the super saving brand would save her (48 - 32) = $ 16 per month
