Purchasing case saves $0.04 per pencil.

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of individual pencil = $0.97

Price of case = $37.20

Quantity of pencils in case = 40

Cost of one pencil from case= Price of case ÷ Quantity of pencils

[tex]cost\ of\ one\ pencil=\frac{37.20}{40}\\cost\ of\ one\ pencil=\$0.93[/tex]

Amount saved = Price of individual pencil - Cost of 1 pencil from case

[tex]Amount\ saved=0.97-0.93\\Amount\ saved=\$0.04[/tex]

Purchasing case saves $0.04 per pencil.
