You save $0.55 on each issue when you take a subscription.

Explanation:

The cost for 12 issues on a newsstand is:

$12 \cdot $ 2 = $ 24$ $12 * $2 = $24$

Subtract the cost of the one-year subscription from the cost of buy 12 issues on the newsstand and divide by 12 (the number of issues) letting S = your Savings:

$S = \frac{$ 24 - $ 17.40}{12}$ $S = ($24 - $17.40) / 12$

$S = $ \frac{6.60}{12}$ $S = $6.60 / 12$

$S = $ 0.55$ $S = $0.55$

You save $0.55 on each issue when you take a subscription.
