Solution

To find out how much Emmy can save, we need to subtract the cost of the phone if she waits from the cost of the phone if she buys it now.

Step 1: Write down the cost of the phone if she buys it now. This is $413.15.

Step 2: Write down the cost of the phone if she waits until her contract is over. This is $300.40.

Step 3: Subtract the cost of the phone if she waits from the cost of the phone if she buys it now.

So, 413.15413.15 - 300.40 = $112.75

Therefore, Emmy can save $112.75 if she waits until her contract is over to upgrade her phone.
