A) To buy one box of the new cereal it will be y=8*1 so 8$. 12-8= 4. So the original brand is 4$ more.

B) 4*4=16$

Answer:

$16

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Original Money = $12

Saving money = y = 8(1) = $8

Difference = 12 - 8 = 4

In short, Your Answer would be $4

b) It would be 4 times than the single time saving which is 4,

so = 4 * 4 = 16

In short, Your Answer would be $16

Hope this helps!
