How much does the old refrigerator cost? ** The old refrigerator costs $0.85 a day so for 30 days it costs .85*30 = $<<0.85*30=25.50>>25.50
How much does the new refrigerator cost? ** The new refrigerator costs $0.45 a day so for 30 days it costs .45*30 =$<<0.45*30=13.50>>13.50
How much money does Kurt save in a 30-day month with his new refrigerator? ** Over 30 days, Kurt saves 25.50-13.50 = $<<25.50-13.50=12.00>>12.00 a month with his new refrigerator
