In a certain shop, notebooks that normally sell for 59 cents each are on sale at 2 for 99 cents. How much can be saved by purchasing 10 dollars of these notebooks at the sale price?

I don't understand:

  • either notebooks normally sell 59 cents, each one is sold at 2 (amount) for 99 cents,
  • or if we sell 2 of them, price for them is 99 cents?

Previously, $1$ notebook costs $59$ cents. Now, $2$ notebooks cost $99$ cents together. That means if we buy $10$ notebooks now, we spend $5$ times of $99$ cents.
