    If an item costs $2.50 and there's a "buy four get one free" sale on it, how much do five cost?

    • A.

    • C.

    • D. 

      8.5

    Correct Answer
    B. 10
    Explanation
    If an item costs $2.50 and there's a "buy four get one free" sale on it, it means that for every four items purchased, one item is given for free. Therefore, if we want to buy five items, we can consider it as buying four items and getting one item for free. Since each item costs $2.50, the cost of four items would be 4 * $2.50 = $10. Hence, five items would also cost $10.
