Paula writes and mails 10 checks per month to pay her bills. Her bank, which charges her 15 cents per check, offers her free use of its bill payment system. If a first-class stamp costs 55 cents, how much can Paula save in a year by using this system?

She saves 15 cents for each check that she doesn't write plus 55 cents for each bill that she doesn't mail for a total of 70 cents per bill. Since she now mails checks for 120 bills per year (12 months times 10 checks per month), she saves 70 cents X 120 = $84.00.

The total amount that Paula can save in a year using this system is $8,400.

How much can Paula save?

The first step is to determine the total amount of checks Paula would write in a month: number of checks per month x number of months in a year

12 x 10 = 120

The second step is to determine the total amount that would be saved per month if she uses the system: 55 + 15 = $70

The total amount saved per year: $70 x 120 = $8,400
