A student may pay $\$ 1.50$ for a single bus ticket or $\$ 5.75$ for a package of 5 tickets. If a student requires 40 tickets, how much does she save by buying all of the tickets in packages of 5 rather than buying 40 single tickets?
(A) $\$ 54.25$
(B) $\$ 34.00$
(C) $\$ 14.00$
(D) $\$ 8.25$
(E) $\$ 4.25$
If the student were to buy 40 individual tickets, this would cost $40 \times \$ 1.50=\$ 60.00$.

If the student were to buy the tickets in packages of 5 , she would need to buy $40 \div 5=8$ packages, and so this would cost $8 \times \$ 5.75=\$ 46.00$.

Therefore, she would save $\$ 60.00-\$ 46.00=\$ 14.00$.

ANsweR: (C)
